Teddy Bear
White bed within four white walls
Tied to it or else she falls
Greenish robe, white wisps of hair
« Have you seen my teddy bear?»
Fed by tube and countless pills
None alleviate her ills
With slurred speech and vacant stare
« Please bring me my teddy bear »
« Enough of these diagnostics
My conditions you can’t fix
He should be right over there
My best friend, my teddy bear »
« Saw him just the other day
He should not be far away
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Did you look well, everywhere?
For my darling teddy bear? »
« I’ve been trapped here since December
Of what year? I can’t remember
Christmas carols in the air
Begging for my teddy bear »
« I don’t want one more injection
Or to hear ‘bout the infection
For these things I’ve not a care
Just give me my teddy bear »
