MORPHY's Story

So, who is Morpheus (or Morphy for short)? He is a little bear who dreams of great things, but needs a little bit of help to keep his focus and eliminate distractions from his life… and don’t we all sometimes?

He is a product of our imagination but was inspired by the realities of modern living.  We hope that he will help bring some peace and quiet into your life as well.

So the myth goes like this...

In a distant galaxy far, far away,
A powerful new deity was born one stormy day.
With talons for his toes, soft fur, and face of bear,
Invariably, he stood out and drew a lot of stares.
The other gods were mocking him and whispering and laughing,
While all he ever wanted was not to be distracted.
He longed for peaceful slumber, devoid of noise and bustle,
A whole new world for him to see without the buzz and hustle,
Where he could dream, create, and sleep, wake up rejuvenated,
To be himself, to live his life but not feel isolated.
Eventually the GOD himself heard all of Morphy’s struggles,
So he decided, there and then, to end his lonesome troubles.
GOD built him a cocoon that would take him on a journey.
Through universes cold and dark, and desolate, and lonely
To planet green and blue and warm inhabited by bears
Who offered little Morphy love and raised him one of theirs.
The voyage offered him respite, the rest that he’d so yearned for,
Deep sleep for many quiet months, untroubled and delightful.
When he awoke to plush green hills, he felt refreshed and mighty,
He’d hibernated long enough and now his face had brightened.
Ideas streaming through his head, his focus highly sharpened,
So keen to share the joy of peaceful rest with those who’d gladly have it.
He put his powers to the test, and though a little cautious,
Created earplugs that we refer to now as Morpheus.
The bears taught him how to swim, to look for juicy berries,
To dance, to fish, to run around and play with woodland fairies.
If music ever got too much and noise too overwhelming
Small Morphy used his trusty plugs, so little yet so caring.
When autumn came around and leaves began to lose their greenness,
The bees fell silent, and the bears grew tired of their mischiefs.
“I think it’s time,” small Morphy said with confidence so rare.
The magic earplugs then appeared for every sleepy bear.
They made their beds, said sweet goodnights in the approach of darkness.
Then settled softly for a snooze and closed their eyes for months now.
When spring tapped lightly on their doors and sun smiled at their windows
The bears hungry but refreshed were ready for new ventures.
And now, you also can enjoy the genius of the bear –
Rest peacefully and then wake up refreshed and full of flare.
Or you can wear them on the tube, or bus or train or rocket.
So small and useful, they’ll fit into any tiny pocket.
Or take them swimming in the pool, the sea, or any ocean,
Protect your ears and use them as a powerful precaution.
