The Story of Barnaby Bear
Barnaby Bear
is a VERY fine bear
And he lives
in a very nice house
But for quite a long time
there was nobody there
Except Barney,
and Murgatroyd Mouse
At night Barney looked
at the stars and the moon
And he talked
to some birds every day
But now and again
he would wonder how soon
A friend
might be coming his way.
He remembered the place
where his memories began
And a girl bear
called Bessie he knew
So he wrote her a note
saying - "Come if you can"
I'm one -
but I'd rather be Two.
The answer came back
with a definite "Yes!"
She was pleased,
as she made very plain
Signing the letter,
"Your own loving Bess"
And giving
the time of her train.
He sat on the station
for quite a long while
And at last train
and Bessie were there
He could see that her luggage
made QUITE a large Pile.
But Barney's
a VERY strong Bear.
Now Barney and Bess
aren't alone any more
For soon came a baby
called Emily
Little Julian Bear
brought their number to Four
Now the Bears
are one big happy family.
