Teddy’s cross

Teddy’s eyes were crossed And they were just crosses

So everything she saw was a cross and crossed And every cross she saw wasn’t.


A crossroad was a road

Noughts and crosses was noughts A hot crossed bun was a hot bun

And Jesus on the cross was just Jesus.


When Jesus saw this he was not cross Because Jesus without a cross

Was like a teddy with cross eyes Inscrutable.
