if you go down in the woods today
don't expect to stumble across a teddy bear's picnic
the world has changed
winnie the pooh
is considered to be the chinese president's look alike
so his images are banned
donald duck has changed his hair colour
grown fat and become a psycho president
pollyanna is deemed to be politically incorrect
snow white has racial issues
and sleeping beauty is an addict
if you go to church
you could find yourself
minus a head
so stay alert
no praying with eyes closed
the world is no picnic
the teddy bears
have moved on

OH I love your poem ... please, let me be Cinderella in her gown at the ball ... please.
ReplyDeleteNO...Cinderella is an enemy agent attempting to destroy the manufacturing shoe industry of the western nations by promoting glass slippers as a must have fashion item.
DeleteBrilliant response!!!! Old Mother Hubbard I must be.
DeleteOh, you have nailed it! This made me smile - but also recognize how apt this comparison is.
ReplyDeleteMade my way smiling to the last three lines, which are sobering. Let's hope Donald Duck has moved on with the teddy bears ......
ReplyDeleteThe teddy bears might be eating our lunch while we're not looking!
ReplyDeleteYes may Donald Duck lose the election! This is spot on brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI see that the Teddies are being plagued with open racial discrimination by the ruling bigot class because of their having mixed race families. That's extra hard on them because they've always been loved and accepted by the colorblind children everywhere. And by most adults. But the ruling class has never believed in the Golden Rule nor of the age long principle, "God loves all the children of the world."
ReplyDelete..
I feel that now is the time for an expedition to find those bears!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I remember the song, Teddy Bears Picnic. They have definitely left the woods behind.
