My Teddy Bear

My teddy bear is all worn out
I've had him all my life
His eye's rubbed off, he lost an ear
There's not much left but snout

He sits at the table in a chair
I take him with me everywhere

When teacher isn't watching
He shows up in class
I have to think quickly
And put him away fast !

The Camel that Barked

I can't say I like camels the least
In fact, they are one of my favorite beasts
I've known one camel since I was young
He likes to lick me with his long, fat tongue
But wait - I'm only dreaming
It's not what it's seeming
Because I just woke up
To find my little pup

Puppy Dogs

Dogs will keep you warm by sitting on your feet
If they had opposing thumbs, they'd bring you food to eat
Dogs will do whatever you want them to
But most importantly, they'll always love you

Gulls and Doves

On overnight excursions
Into nature's deepest coves
When the only others are
Gulls, deer, coyote, and doves

When the only sound of night
Goes cheep, cheep, cheep
And the chorus sings and sings
Until I fall asleep

When the only blossoms are
Wild, random, and free
When the finch and the sparrow
Are calling out to me

That's when I know
I'm serenely in my place
Among the highest evolved
Of the natural race
