Ted packed his trunk with all the junk
he said he didn't need
cars with three wheels and orange peels
and books he didn't read
He threw away his moulding clay
his bucket and his *****
some holey socks and building blocks
and games he never played
One spider fake a rubber snake
A plane with just one wing
Two wind up frogs with broken cogs
A yo-yo with no string
An old remote a bath time boat
a bat without a ball
four marbles chipped three comics ripped
he threw away them all
A piece of chalk a bottle cork
some old unwanted cans
a dinosaur without its roar
and paint stained plastic pans
Some old cds and dvds
too scratched to ever play
a submarine some jumping beans
he threw them all away
Without a sound the lid closed down
and locked the ******* in
then daddy said I'll take that Ted
and put it in the bin
Spring cleaning ends as two good friends
sit down to toasted bread
More room to play I heard him say
as we climbed into bed
The clever bear without a care
closed his one eye and snored
I did the same and dreamed of games
that we had yet in-store
