Please look after this bear - the label had requested
but the moment he arrived
that bear was soon arrested.

Where are your papers bear?  The officer demanded.
But the bear could not comply
and so he was remanded.

Illegal immigration was getting quite outrageous
and the vets had raised concerns
he could be carrying something contagious.

They locked him in a cage - to avoid the risk of flight
to be killed after so many days
for he didn't have human rights.

That's what really happened to potential Paddington Bear.
True life is rarely funny, and far less often fair.
