A Poem Fit for a Boo

Little boys can grow and grow,

but teddy bears must stay JUST SO!

Editor’s note: Dear readers, this charming poem was told to me by my college roommate over 50 years ago. It was recited to her by its author, a resident of the nursing home where she worked during the summers, who was well into her 80’s at the time. That would make the poem nearly 100 years old! I have searched the internet for the authorship of this verse to no avail, so must present it here as, Author Unknown. I had totally forgotten about this little ditty until recently when I realized that it could have been custom written for Christopher and Boo. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
