Teddy

 

It was never about the teddy bear

It just sits there

Well, actually, It lies there

Have you ever noticed that about teddy’s

They always lie at 45 to 60 degree angles

I digress

It should be about the teddy

You go to the hospital

People see a teddy, they smile

I wasn’t smiling

No, I wasn’t smiling that day

But as teddy said

At least you don’t need a DNA test

Definitely didn’t need a DNA test

Just a large drink

Several large drinks

None for teddy

That would be irresponsible

Teddy still makes jokes about it

No night feeds for you

No crying

You’ve had a lucky escape

I sit him up straight

Ten minutes later

He’s on his side

That\'s life.
