Unbearable!
His little brown eyes bore into mine as he spins around;
I feel the pity and deep guilt by the whirling sound!
We both feel dizzy and a little sick as the powder fills the drum,
Then to join all the others on a hot day in the sun.
It's a punishing routine we have but necessarily so,
I feel the salty tears that sting my eyes not it's time for you to go.
So goodbye my love for a little while, I'll see you when you're clean,
This will do us so much good, but feel so cruel and mean.
We dread this time of year and our hearts they deeply ache;
It's worth all the worry and angst - so do it for both our sakes!
We know you've got to endure this pain to get you back to what you were-
You'll feel a great deal better when you feel your nice soft fur!
I watch in vain as he spins, his arms and legs get mangled,
It's only for a short time though before he gets untangled!
Now even worse, the washing line and pegged out by his ears-
Awww Bear you know I love you and it's hard to stop the tears.
So please don't stare, you know I care but have to walk away
We both know it won't be long, the pain's just for today.
You'll be back before you know snuggled up in my warm bed -
You've been around as long as me, my lovely yellow Ted!
