Once upon a time in a land far away,
There lived a little teddy bear who loved to play,
His fur was threadbare and tattered with age,
But he was still filled with joy and never acted his stage.

His vintage charm made him quite unique,
Even though he was shabby and looked quite meek,
He never felt trite or worn-out,
As his young heart always had a joyful shout.

Some may say he was stale or past his prime,
But to him, every moment was a good time,
He cherished the memories of days gone by,
And his worn-out fur held stories you couldn't buy.

So if you ever come across a toy that seems old,
Remember, it might be worth its weight in gold,
For vintage things hold a magic all their own,
A charm and warmth that has only grown.
