The Teddy Bears’ Ball

 

I went to the teddy bear ball

There were teddy bears large and small

The fairies played tunes

On flutes and bassoons

And a fiddler from Cisalpine Gaul

.

There were brown bears and black ones

And surely no slack ones

Of pandas and polars

With bright, shiny molars

And even a duck with a quack

.

A koala sang tunes from down under

And then, to everyone’s wonder

He stole a big kiss

From a pretty young miss

But she didn’t mind his bold blunder

.

Before the next breaking of dawn

The fairies and music were gone

The festivities ended

And homeward they wended

To each’s sweet child, with a yawn
