One of a Kind

Cornelius is an old bear with rough patches everywhere. She was passed down to me from my mother, from my great-grandmother. Made by my great-grandmother.
Cornelius is rough and tough, dangerous and daring, hard and stiff, warm and fuzzy and one of a kind.
She smells like stew, she tastes like it too,
But I love her anyway.
Cornelius sounds like a brave guard but has a calm side.
She shines as a star shooting silently through the sky.
Cornelius looks like spew and she knows it’s true,
But I love her anyway.
We play games together and fight crime.
Cornelius Cibble cutely cuddles cake and crawls away.
Cornelius is smelly, and doesn’t taste nice but… no toy bears do. Isn’t that right?
I love Cornelius and all her fascinating features, and I always will love her. Very, very much.
