Geronimo and The Christmas Party.

A chilly wind was blowing,

And snow began to fall,

But Geronimo the little Bear,

Just didn't mind at all.

He was sitting in the living room,

Beside a nice, warm fire,

And counting all his Christmas gifts,

As was his hearts desire.

"I think I'm very lucky,"

Thought Teddy to himself,

"There's love and warmth around me,

And I'm in the best of health."

With that, he nodded off to sleep,

And soon began to snore,

But then he was awoken,

By a knocking at the door.

"Oh curses!" cried our Furry Chum,

"Don't they know I'm busy resting?

I'll go outside and tell them,

That my patience they are testing!"

He dragged himself out of the chair,

And shouted out; "Okay,

Please stop your awful banging,

Because I'm on my way!"

But when he opened up the door,

He saw the saddest sight,

Joe Bear was standing on the step,

His poor face pale with fright.

"What's up?" asked our Geronimo,

"You're clearly out of breath,

I think you'd better come indoors,

Before you catch your death!"

"I haven't got the time," sobbed Joe,

"Barry slipped up on the ice,

And now he is in hospital,

Which isn't very nice!"

His fellow Teddy was concerned,

But told him; "Please don't worry,

Because you've got two special friends,

Who'll help you in a hurry!"

When she heard Joe's sorry story,

Jane was very worried too,

But smiled; "Well, don't just stand there!

As we've lots of things to do!"

She led them to the kitchen,

And they started to prepare,

A tray of yummy sausage rolls,

And other Christmas fare.

Her helpers made some paper chains,

To hang by Barry's bed,

"Oh won't he get a BIG surprise!"

The cheeky Teddy's said.

The little girl just giggled,

And answered; "I agree,

Please go and fetch his presents,

From underneath the tree."

When they reached the cottage hospital,

The Bears were so excited,

When Barry saw what they had done,

He too, was quite delighted

"We heard about your accident,"

Smiled Our Geronimo,

"And thought a Christmas Party,

Might stop you feeling low."

"You're spot on there!" laughed Barry,

"This party will be great,

And all the staff and patients,

Can help us celebrate!"

When the food was on the table,

Joe gave a cheeky grin,

And shouted; "Happy Christmas!

The fun can now begin!"

The children all raced forward,

Then when they'd had their fill,

They giggled; "That was lovely,

And it stopped us feeling ill."

"In that case," smiled the Sister,

"Some Party games we'll play,

And then we'll sing some carols,

As it's nearly Christmas Day!"

In seconds everybody,

Was dancing on the floor,

Jane even won the dolly,

Which she'd been hoping for.

Geronimo and little Joe,

Then organised a conga,

"You two are mad!" Nurse Jenny cried,

"I can't go on much longer!"

Meanwhile back on the busy ward,

Lynn ran to Barry's bed,

"Hey, I've just found some Misletoe,

Give me a kiss!" she said.

The kindly boy leaned forward,

And kissed her on the cheek,

"Oh thank you!" blushed the dizzy girl,

"You've made my knees go weak!!"

The party guests had so much fun,

But then up came the moon,

"We'd better finish now," sighed Jane,

"As bedtime's coming soon."

Friend Barry hugged his special friends,

As tightly as he could,

And smiled "I  might be poorly,

But today's been really good."

"I'll always be so grateful,

That you made my dreams come true,

And hope that Christmas happiness,

Will be returned to you."

THE END.
