Thomas and the Breakfast Bear

With a pile of toast upon his plate
Thomas, all smiles, cannot wait
To enjoy his breakfast before school;
To study he must needs refuel!

But who's this new friend by his side
With beady eyes and furry hide?
A quiet observer propped up close
Who looks with longing at his toast?

Pooh Bear or Paddington from Peru?
This shaggy look is somewhat new
White-faced, he hasn't caught the sun
But loves his food – look at his tum!

Fuzzy Bear now reigns supreme;
Isabella, absent from the scene
As Thomas, unfazed, takes his time
Click goes Mum's camera – and this rhyme!
