My Friend Teddy

Mommy and Daddy have some new friends, that they like so very much;

They also have a dog named Teddy, who likes other doggies to touch!

At first I was scared, ‘cause he’s bigger than me, so I growled and snapped a whole lot;

But now that I know him, he’s sweet as a lamb, the best friend now that I’ve got!

We spend every day together a bit; sometimes we see each other twice;

And now that Teddy’s become my best friend, I love him and I’m very nice!

We lay near each other while our parents have chats; sometimes we frolic and play;

He’s very feisty and barks a whole lot, I’m older, and have less to say!

But in only five days they have to go back, up north to Rockport in Mass;

And after they leave, I’ll miss him a lot; my days, so lonely, I’ll pass!

But with Mommy and Daddy, I’m taking a trip, in three months, at the end of July;

And we’re going to see them at their summer home; I sure hope that time really flies!

Then in the fall, they’ll come back down here, with Teddy, my newest best friend;

And we’ll be back at the places we both love so much; we’ll hang at our “Starbucks” again!

I lost my dear Brother a while ago, but Teddy has brought back some bliss;

I think Nico in Heaven, arranged all of this, so “him” I would not so miss!
