Toys

by Edward Keyes

Teddy, favourite bed-companion
links fifties with nineties
  sons with grandsons.

Golly once shared nursery sprawl
  in close intimacy.
Between fifties and nineties
political correctness intervened
  severing the union.
Golly no longer persona grata
  stinks of racism.

Now Pooh goes marching on
towards second millennium,
Sambo and much of Noddy banished
  to toyland limbo.
