if ya get him from Santy send him back ta Slasher's with a few bottles of rum fer me troubles

I hope you get MadDogTed back in a hurry, GallantTed, but I won't be wurried yule be short of rum.

Seems a pity Santy only visits Slashers once a year. We could use a good BLASHT FROM THE PASHT more often.

Any bear "made in haste"
Is likely to find himself faced
with more than he can bear.

But chances are good
He'll get what he should
Someone ragged as Ted is
To love him.
