All stylish girls and clever boys kept bears on hand
To play with and to walk with and to put to bed at night,
As "Teddy Bears" were symbols of the Rooseveltian light.
But when King Teddy left his throne, Taft got his seat,
And soft brown teddies disappeared from home and street,
While "Billy Possums" came to rule for two years or for three,
When "BRYAN KITTENS" will be hatched and all the rage will be.
