Teddy bear, teddy bear,Turn around.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,Touch the ground.
Primula taught me this song this morning, and the other toys had fun joining in, even though most of them aren't bears. Primula said it didn't matter - she said people love this song, too.
So, after a little singing session was over I started wondering about other songs about bears and I went cruising the Internet. I think google was created just for curious bears such as myself, to satisfy our whimsical curiosities.
Anyway,I found a whole lot of songs about bears, here. I've heard Teddy bear's Picnic before (I think I've even blogged about that one), and of course Primula has been teaching me Teddy bear, teddy bear, but I was surprised just how many there were. My favourite was You are my teddy bear sung to the tune of You are my sunshine. I wonder if I can get Primula to sing it to me?
But some of the songs I didn't like, because they suggested bears are scary and should be hunted or run away from. One even mentioned a gun! I think I might have nightmares tonight.
No I won't - because Primula is here with me, safe in the toyroom. She's a wonderful friend, is Primula.
Gotta go sing.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens… Primula taught me this song today, all about favourite things, as sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. And it got me thinking about my favourite things. So, I thought I’d share them.
1. Primula (of course) as it was her that taught me to sing.
2. Singing. Almost any song will do, but I specially like happy ones.
3. Hugs. I’m a hugging kind of a guy. The world would be a better place if more people would hug more often.
4. Poetry. Both writing it and reading it. Again, especially happy ones.
5. Blogging. I love being a blogging bear.
6. Friends. There are lots of them here in the toy room.
7. Laughter. I love hearing other people laugh. It never fails to make me happy, too.
So there you have it.

The Downfall of Sauron, March 25th
The Tolkien Society had many reasons for choosing this anniversary to celebrate Tolkien Reading Day, but I like this one best:
It is a date of renewal: the change from the Third Age to the Fourth, the change from fear and oppression to new hope. Re-reading Tolkien (or, for many, reading him for the first time) will be an act of renewal and refreshening their appreciation of his works.
Sounds like Spring!
Was thinking this too, thought it would be too geeky to say. Glad someone did though!
I have to confess it's more than 12 months since I re-read LotR - but in my defence, I should say that the last time I read it was the third time in a calendar year !
That's so funny, Camille! Happy Spring to one and all :)
