Sitting on the window sill
Teddy Robinson gazes out
He absorbs the hustle and bustle
to the soothing sounds of Emily snores.

His moth eaten cardigan
stretches across his fat tummy
as if the button in the middle
might at any moment go 'pop!'

A suited lady with clackity heels
marches up the garden path
Rat a tat tat!
The fat teddy thinks,
'Oh my, she does sound rather important'

Teddy Robinson urges Emily to wake.
Rat a tat tat!
'Come, Come! There is a lady at the door'
His sleepy eyed owner stumbles about.

Rat a tat tat!
The fat bear leans forward
as Emily answers the summons.
His short neck craning to hear.

'You are ordered to appear in court.'
Teddy Robinson topples off the sill
and bounces softly on the floor.
The middle button goes 'Pop!'

You have such a way to make your characters come to life. I hope Teddy finds his button.

Bravo ! A whimsical piece.

Would make for a fine part in a children's rhyme story.
