Happy, The Stuffed Animal
My name is Happy, she was my partner in crime!
We used to play all the time.
She hugged me when she was in fear,
And played tea parties when she was in cheer!
I’m now a broken dog, full of wear and tear,
I miss her when she was a kid…
I still wait on the dusty shelves, hoping for love,
Is she looking at me for more fun?
Master, when will you play with me?
Cause’ I am longing to be your amigo again.
