I have a problem

That is beginning

To overwhelm me

That Is that I adore

Teddy Bears

I find it hard to pass

A charity shop

Without giving a bear

A new home

It is their sad eyes

They look at me

As people might

Have looked at Christ

Many years ago

As I give them hope

I am a good man

Benevolent and kind

But I fear that this

Will soon decline

Quite why it will decline

Is a mystery to me

But I know that the liberation

Is very near so very near

So I have taken refuge

In the caves of Barbooska

Until it is safe to return
