Now listen children dear
and hear what is to hear
about that Daddy Bear
who needed a good pair
of shoes that he could wear
This unemployed sad bear
would never leave his chair
ashamed that folks would stare
at his claw feet so bare
go out he did not dare
Then one fine day in June
when roses are in bloom
he saw in his email
what made his bear heart throb:
an offer for a job
It listed few details
but Daddy did not fail
to note that this great news
was calling for no shoes
so this might end his blues
This outfit had a boss
who had been at a loss
since all the other bears
that came all wore a pair
of shoes and fancy suits
or even leather boots
So just as you might guess
our Daddy Bear was blessed
with landing that good job
and works with Mailman Bob
who wears a fancy fob
You wonder why bare toes
are rules that are imposed:
the little plane that's used
its' pedals can't be bruised
by shoes with heavy soles
the plane would lose control
So children, now you see
how life and jobs can be
and hopefully believe
no need cry or grieve
all bears someday achieve.

I would like to translate this poem
So sweet, Liilia, would be ideal in a children's book of rhymes! :)
