DAY 22 - FOR MY CHILD

Grumpy is grumpy because he's not neat,

His coat is threadbare and sags to his feet.

His growl in his tummy no longer growls

He just sounds like he is squeaking big howls.

Bears should be proud of their growls and their coats

So proud they would always get the best votes.

Grumpy has whispered to me 'Oh, yes please'

He gets upset when the other toys tease!

You can sew him a nice colourful suit

So he's posh from his head to his boot.

And I'll get a new growl and fix it quick

So he 'll be all new in a tickety-tick.

A bear with new clothes and a growl that's good

He'll be so proud, you know that he would.

The best bear in the toy box or on your bed

That's what he told me – that's what he said.
