Teddy Bear Trouble Poem by Shelley Williams

My Teddy Bears are trouble,
they spilled milk on the floor.
They scribbled on the wall
and used red marker on the door.

I tried to stop Mister Bear
from squirting the toothpaste.
The sink was full of shampoo
and he even took a taste.

I caught him in the kitchen,
with sugar everywhere
He also dumped the flour
and disappeared without a care.

I was left behind by Teddy
and found in another room.
The sight was tremendous
and it left much to assume.

Suddenly I heard it loud
'Clean up this mess you made! '
'But, my Teddy Bears are to blame,
I tried to stop the raid.'

My guilty eyes looked up
with Teddy in my hands.
I knew we were in trouble
but nobody understands.

The Teddy Bear's made me do it,
I even asked them why.
They didn't even say a word
and that caused me to cry.

It was Mister Bear all along,
he told me what to do.
I saw the flour on the floor
and some was in my shoe.

I cleaned up the huge mess
and it only took an hour.
while Mister Bear laid there
covered in toothpaste and flour.

After we got cleaned up
I was left to take the blame.
But, I disciplined my Teddy Bears
so they would face the same.
