Poetry for children by Jan Darrow.
Inspired by Jessie Willcox Smith's artwork (which is included in this book), this collection of poetry was written for children (age 4 and up), but may be enjoyed by anyone young at heart.
This artwork was originally included in "A Child's Garden of Verses," (c) 1905 by Robert Louis Stevenson.

THE PRINCESS AND THE BEARS
Sometimes I dress up in a gown of sparkling glitter, princess crown
and walk among my scattered bears that sit alone in teatime chairs
politely drinking teatime tea,
they wait for princess words from me.
You are my bears that's true I say my loyal subjects on this day
I grant to you one special wish you all may have a special dish.
Oh yes, oh yes, a special dish of Gummy Worms and Swedish Fish!
The bears jump up and march around they sing and cheer the loudest sound
is heard across my kingdom fair where marching singing bears are rare.
