Geronimo Meets Friendly Florence.

The boring science lesson,

Was rolling on and on,

“Oh golly,” groaned Geronimo,

“My patience has all gone.”

“I know I should be listening,

But now I feel quite lousy,

And all these complicated terms,

Are making me feel drowsy.”

“I’ve heard so many of them,

That they’re messing up my head,

So now I’ll take it easy,

And have some fun instead!”

Bear grabbed hold of a rubber,

And twirled it round and round,

Which really was quite clever,

As it didn’t make a sound.

Then very, very stupidly,

He put it up his nose,

And grinned “It will be wonderful,

To see how far it goes.”

However in a little while,

He ran right out of luck,

Because the tiny object,

Got well and truly stuck!”

He put a furry paw up,

And then he yelled “Please Miss,

A rubber’s stuck right up my nose,

How do I handle this?”

Miss Hall came marching up to him,

And muttered “Dear oh dear,

You’ve not been concentrating,

That much is crystal clear!”

“Let’s get you off to A and E,

As quickly as we can,

I’m pretty sure the nurses,

Will come up with a plan.”

When they reached their destination,

Poor Teddy was in pain,

He sighed “I wish that someone,

Would put me right again!”

As soon as he had spoken,

A nurse came up to him,

She smiled “Hello I’m Florence,

What’s making you feel grim?”

“It’s simple,” sighed our Furry Chum,

“I’ve been a proper fool,

I shoved a rubber up my nose,

Which really wasn’t cool!”

“Oh goodness,” laughed his new found friend,

“That isn’t nice at all,

It must be most un-nerving

For somebody so small.

But if you will come with me,

Of this I have no doubt,

My magic pair of tweezers,

Will sort the problem out!”

Geronimo was doubtful,

But then he said “Okay

But because I am the smallest,

You’ll have to lead the way!”

Before you could say clumsy,

He was sitting on a bed,

“You’ll be just fine,” smiled Florence,

“Don’t worry your small head!”

“This job is very easy,

So if you stay quite still,

I’ll soon remove that rubber,

And stop you feeling ill!”

Bear nodded very slowly,

And then replied “Okay,

I’ll gladly bite the bullet,

And do everything you say!”

As soon as he was settled,

Florence took her tweezers out,

And before he even knew it,

The rubber came straight out!

“Good heavens!” giggled Teddy.

“That was simple as can be,

And I am very grateful,

For all you’ve done for me!”

The nurse just giggled loudly,

And said “It’s been a pleasure,

Because although you’re cheeky,

You’re still a little treasure.”

She handed him a chocolate,

And then they went outside,

“He’s been a star this afternoon”

She told Miss Hall with pride!

“I know,” replied the teacher,

With a very knowing wink,

“And now he’s feeling better,

I’m really tickled pink.

But now this nightmare’s over,

We should be on our way,

And I hope that he’ll remember,

The things he’s  learned today!”

“Don’t worry,” grinned our Furry Friend,

“I’ve been as green as grass,

But from this moment forward,

I’ll concentrate in class!”

THE END.
