Help[Facts] Re: Full name for Teddy?
in reply to a message by Shehrazad
We may be familiar with Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt, but in the UK (and many other commonwealth countries), most people associate "Teddy" with "Edward", as in the A.A. Milne poem:
"Are you," he said,"by any chance
His Majesty the King of France?"
The other answered, "I am that,"
Bowed stiffly, and removed his hat;
Then said, "Excuse me," with an air,
"But is it Mr Edward Bear?"
And Teddy, bending very low,
Replied politely, "Even so!"
