The Teddy Bears are Dancing
By Ruth Calder Murphy (Arciemme)
The snow is getting deeper
upon my windowsill
and the teddy bears and snowmen
are all dancing on the hill.
They’re wrapped up warm in mittens
tied on with bits of string
and the teddy bears and snowmen
are still dancing in a ring.
The moon is shining brightly,
so the teddy bears can see,
although it’s after midnight,
where their dancing feet should be.
Father Christmas has just landed
in the centre of the ring.
He’s wearing scarlet ear muffs
and a robe, just like a king.
He’s dancing with the bears now
whilst the snowmen keep the beat.
I must say, for he’s age,
he’s very nimble on his feet!
The snow is even deeper
and they’re running out of breath,
so they’ve jumped into a big balloon
to fly off home to rest.
I’m sad to see them go away,
but I am sleepy too,
so I’ll go to bed myself, and dream
of dancing in the snow.
The next time snow is falling,
they’ll all be back once more
to dance the night away
upon the soft, white, snowy floor
