The Toy Lion

  The Toy Lion
Picture Credits:

Help me I'm lonely
all by myself.
Help me I'm lonely
here on this shelf.

Help me I'm scared
to be all alone,
somebody please take me,
please take me home.

The toy lion
is king of all beasts.
Small and cuddly
to say the least.

He sits on a shelf
all alone.
patiently waiting
to be taken home.

Help me I'm lonely
here all alone,
won't you take me,
please take me home!

The toy lion
is king of all beasts.
Small and cuddly
to say the least.

He sits on a shelf
all alone,
patiently waiting
to be taken home!


(This is for a contest that requires it to be written through the eyes of a five year old. My granddaughter was in a toy store and wanted a stuffed animal that was on, of course the top shelve. We had to get the clerk to bring a ladder to get it. That took forever and I am sure you can understand the wait for her was terrible. The poem is written from her point of view! Anthony )

I think this is adorable! I utterly loved it, Anthony. I just kept thinking of some little lion sitting on a shelf at a Walgreens or Walmart, and some little five year old staring up at it. I remember being that age, I saw a little procelain doll I fell in love with. The shop keeper said they couldn't find anyone to buy her. She had on this pretty green dress with brown hair...I grabbed her off the shelf and held her so tightly, and begged my grandpa to buy her, because she was lonely. I don't know where it went...I think my mom has it, but it was my favorite doll and I always had it by my bed.

To a little kid, everything is alive. Beautiful poem, Anthony. Brought back such fond memories.

i dont get what you mean roger if you think about it to a kid a toy is a toy it can be anything all my toys were cuddlies (plush toy never heard that before). so looking at it from a kids view i say this poem is perfect because i used to cry to my dad saying my teddy was lonely and in pain when he ot hung on the washing line to dry lol. it's very cute anthony!!! keep it up

I can see the expectation and anxiety that this poem exerts from a child's point of view. The poem is simple and unpretentious, like child's play. But when I read, "Toy lion," I think of a plastic toy, not a cuddly plush toy. That interrupted my feel for the lion, not the poem.
