Nipple

There was a young bear 

called Nipple

who enjoyed 

the odd merry tipple

one day snifting port

his number one sport

dived in

disappeared

in a ripple...

I thought I commented... must have forgotten to submit.. Well done, sweet little poem, effortless, wasn't it? I'd like to see a sketch, a painting accompany this... Which way do ripples go *down under*? ~A "Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood." T. S. Eliot

Yes you did, you remember,

but it had already been written,I wanted to see what else could be written. Nipple is my teddy bear, I got him in a custody battle, his father tried to flush him down the toilet, but nips butt is too big and I saved him. I have had him since 1992. He's a polish polar bear, I bought my mother a similar one when she was sick with cancer, something for her to cuddle while she was really skinny and not able to sleep with dad. He's also a great travel bear (pillow). I have been wanting it to see the light. glad you liked it!! :)fleur xxx and a hug from Nip Nipple Czlowski MacDonald

When my mom was in the

When my mom was in the hospital with stomach cancer, from which she ultimately died... and after her surgery for the removal of her stomach, I found (blessed be the fates!) a Raggedy-Ann type doll except she was dressed in a little Swiss-Miss alpine-dress with pointy green hat & pigtails.... (she was reared in Switzerland). I gave it to her and told her she's me when I'm not there... we both wept. I still have the doll...and I suppose it will be burned with me... that and my Italian Greyhound's(Sir Nigel Miles of Mayhem) ashes... Thank you for you poetic offering, your story; it seems all I have now days are memories. Love, Anna "You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." Ayn Rand

I'm so sorry

I missed this Anna. I'm honoured you liked my little write with it's caring story. I can't go anywhere more than overnight without the poor little bear. Well he's not poor. He is truly loved. I'm glad you were touched by this. Thankyou :)fleur

I'm sure, you, me, Nipple

and a bottle of Penfolds Club would get along fine. Thanks for this, you got me in trouble. My teddy bear is jealous, I have never named him or given him port. Cheers, Jess

Dear Fleur

I love this poem, I bet it stirs some emotional remainders of a deeper, great significance. Best Regards, Hugo

Hugo, I have asked the bear

and all he can do is stare at me lovingly, although I know that he knows that I rescued him from a fate worse than death! Glad you love this! :)fleur

I do wonder how you would have constructed this poem if, by chance, our tippsy bear's name was, perhaps, Fernando....lol You generally have a fanciful, playful way about your expression, and you find the most unusual subjects to reflect on...a hallmark quality of a true artist. ...who can walk away from these words without as much as a smile! You are a funny girl. PINT :)

once upon a time in the

once upon a time in the merry land of rhyme there was a caring daring bear named Fred well, one day (much to his chagrin) just to see what he was made from and in, I pulled out all his stuffing, it was an ugly shade of red now Fred is dead. I don't ever remember having a bear (I hated dolls). However, I remember having tea parties with my cat. And I have pictures to prove it. ;-) ~A

BUT POOR FRED,

How could you! Who cares about the damn cat, what about poor Fred (I'm a dog person) I'm reporting you to the PoCtSSFB society! I would be locking down any small stuffed creature before retiring if I were you! :)fleur

That’s funny. In my home

That's funny. In my home growing up... and with my kids, we pretty much lived with a small zoo. At one time we had a dog, cat, mouse, bird, snakes. That's just some of the critters... and the kids were always bringing home *found* & *wounded* things, including stuffed thingies I was always sewing together. Everyone got along fine except my x and I. ROFL. ~A
