I really did go on a Bear Hunt!

Bear HuntThe following is the true story of what happens when you lose a prop which also happens to be your wife’s Teddy Bear told in the style of Michael Rosen’s “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt”.

….

We’re going on a Bear Hunt to entertain some children.  What a beautiful day!  But where is teddy?

Is he in the cupboard?  My higgledy, piggledy cupboard?

I really need him and I can’t find him.

Oh no!  I hope I haven’t lost him!

Crash, bash, crash, bash!

[An evening spent turning the house upside down later]

We’re going on a Bear Hunt to entertain some children.  What a beautiful day!  But where is teddy?

Is he at a school?  A very, busy school?

I really need him and I can’t find him.

Oh no!  I’ll have to try to contact them.

Tip, tap, tip, tap!

[An e-mail correspondence later]

Bear Hunt 3We’re going on a Bear Hunt to entertain some children.  What a beautiful day!

But where is teddy?

Is he in Merton?  In far away Merton?

I really need him and I can’t find him.

Oh no!  I’ll have to go down there and get him.

Chug, chug, chug, chug!

[An hour and half on the tube later]

We’re going on a Bear Hunt to entertain some children.  What a beautiful day!  But where is teddy?

Is he in the staffroom?  The warm and cosy staffroom?

I really need him and THEY can’t find him.

Oh no!  Lauren’s going to kill me!

But who is this creature, with furry ears…

…. a red bow …

… whose been waiting 12 weeks to be collected.

Bear Hunt 2It’s teddy!

Quick, out of the school…

NB:  Teddy has now officially retired from show business and will spend his retirement on my wife’s bedside table.

Take good care of your props and ask before you borrow things.
