TEDDY BEARS

He was known as a rough rider and a big game hunter to boot
but he’s probably more famous for the bear he didn’t shoot.

When his companions tied one to a tree
Teddy Roosevelt thought it would be unfair…
unsportsmanlike to shoot it
hence…we have the Teddy bear.

Hoping to give children something to do during this virus
a friend in South Carolina came up with a great stunt…
She asked her neighbors to put a Teddy Bear in their windows
and then send the children on a hunt.

When the family goes out for a walk
to ease their boredom…to get some air…
they could bring along a camera and take pictures of all the Teddy Bears.

Her neighbors deemed it a great idea
a way for families to get some exercise and alleviate some cares
while their children…cameras at the ready
would hunt then shoot some Teddy Bears.

So in honor of a great idea…children of our neighborhood be aware
hiding, looking out our window…you will see a Teddy Bear.

If all our neighbors who have Teddy Bears put them in their windows
this could be a wonderful game…
and imagine if neighborhoods all over the county
Followed suit…and did the same.

A Teddy Bear in every window? 
from sea to shining sea?
Could make a lot of cooped up children happy…
I imagine Teddy Roosevelt would agree
