Treeguy

by

Auguste

Treeguy is a friend of ours
He's green and decorated
Just like a Christmas tree he is
His sweetness, understated

He likes to tell us that he's real
And not the stuffed toy that you see
He likes to play the chut-up game And when afraid, he runs to me

He loves almost everyone he sees
But children he loves the best
He relates real well with these
Sometimes Treeguy is a pest

Treeguy often likes to pick
At another toy that's not stuffed That goes by the name of Pounce
And sometimes they get rough

Treeguy lives a sheltered life
And is afraid of everything
He likes for us to think he's brave
And he sometimes likes to sing

"Bidi bidi bom bom" is his song
And to this he likes to dance
He wants to build a web site
And he would, had he the chance

Treeguy's scared of little dogs
And he threatens bacon grease
Sometimes when he's talking
I think that it will never cease

To others, just a stuffed toy
But to us a special friend
He adopted us as his family
So we'd spend our lives with him
