Bear Stays Up

FOR CHRISTMAS

children stories

--------------------------------------------------------

The day before Christmas ,

Snugglead on his floor ,

Bear sleep soundly

With a great big snore .

Dear Bear , GET UP !

Mouse shouts in his ear .

We won't let yuo sleep

Through Christmas this year .

His friends are all there, gathered in his lair …

And the bear

                         Wakes

                                     Up .

He stands with a stretch

And a great big sigh

I hope I can make it .

I do want to try .

Don't woryy, squeaks Mouse

Hare says , It's all right.

We'll keep you busy

All day and all night.

Come on , says Badger,

Time to follow me .

In Pine Grove Glen

there's a fine Christmas tree.

So they stomp through the woods

And they tromp down the track.

They hoist up the tree

Onto Bear's big back.

He plods very slow

as they trudge through the snow .

Back at the cave

Gopher brews mint tea

And mole pops corn

To string upon the tree.

Raven and Wren bake a fresh fruitcake

The friends do their best to keep Bear awake.

His shoulders star to stoop and his eyelids droop.

They couddle and sing as they wait for the sun ….

As his friends shout with glee, Bear lies by the tree ….

But he still stays up.
