Best Friend

 Teddy feels no pain
Well not as we know it
He has no central nervous system
No nerve endings to spark and snap
Teddy is not anaemic
He has no blood system
No arteries or veins
No muscular heart to pump it
Teddy does not have asthma
He has no lungs and has
Genetically advanced to
The point where he doesn’t
Need to breathe in or out
Teddy is made from stuff and fluff
His heart invisible but beats still
It flutters like fairy wings
Especially when warmly cuddled
Teddy lives for me only
And can only survive
If hugged at least twice
A day, candy kisses optional
If you listen, really listen
Teddy will talk to you
If he doesn’t it means
That you haven’t inspired him
Organise a tea party or
An in the woods picnic
Teddy is my best friend
