Teddy Bears Don't Think They're Toys

A little boy is in the bathtub with rubber duckies. A teddy bear and two unicorns are on a table watching him play in the bathtub.

Teddy bears don't think they're toys,
And dolls pretend they're girls and boys.
Rubber duckies like to swim
In bathtubs, right up to the chin
Of some large little boy or girl
Who makes the bathtub water swirl,
While unicorns wait patiently
To go to sleep with you or me.
