Winter warmer ?
fills the tum at any time of year
bringing a glow of contentment
with every loving spoonful
tasty treat at any time of day
perfect with honey, cinnamon, or even chocolate
keeps your “inner bear” happy
and brings a glow from your nose to your toes

Matters of persuasion
were easy for Mrs Polar Bear
But on this occasion
No matter how hard she tried
the seal wouldn’t come out
of the larder
“Sorry Kids….its Fish for tea again!”
What’s that noise
i hear coming from down the stair ?
someone will have do be aware
everyone knows it can’t be a bear
their sleeping on pillows or on nearest chair
so tip-toeing down stairs little toes do creep
to find their dad on the sofa sound asleep

Sat by his cave , somewhere in the zoo
a relative of your old pal – winnie the pooh
climbing his branches , carefully placed
and giving his luncheon a bit of a taste
looks out at the crowd like it’s a TV
and then he goes off – in search of honey

Poem or Prose in 28 Words – Okay!!!!
Polar bears are partying
under nights light show
the snow is twinkling
with various different colours
moving about on ice
like the mirrorball chasing
the disco floor beams
A poem , written on a visit to Edinburgh zoo, with my nephews and the rest of the family
I went to the zoo today,
Saw a small elephant play.
A Tiger with stripes and great big paws
and a Lion with Mane and great big claws!
but that wasn’t everything i saw
Today
Went to the Zoo today,
Saw a spotted leopard sleeping in a bush
as a black panther hid among the brush
and cubs with their mums in such a rush
Today
I went to the zoo today,
and saw the chimps and monkeys at play
Gorillas on trees, swatting off fleas
and Marmosets hanging off branches by their knees!
Today
I Went to the zoo today,
saw buzzards and other birds of prey
‘gainst grand scottish hills
enjoying their scraps and swoops and spills
as i ate my lunch from a restuaurant grill
today
I went to the zoo today,
and saw other animals play.
Saw a Golden Bear, swinging from a tree,
and Monkeys and Gibbons eating their tea,
(Loads of cheeky Chimpanzees!)
and Penguins underwater – like in the sea
swimming past windows – and looking at me
Today
Knights of the realm could be toppled by this – but
Not my mum, or my aunties or Nanna
Its where i learned some very basic steps
To create a scarf for my teddy bear.
To be honest, the twists and turns of loops and purls were
Extremely difficult, but by the end of the month – i’d
Done one that was just the thing for a bear in the cold

A little dusty here or there
his coat could do with a mend
stuffing coming from a paw
this old bear needs a friend
See all the animals are off to the shops
apart from those that look like they’ve been dropped
now little bear, he wouldnt really mind
if the factory would be a little bit kind
A button for his jacket
and some thread for his paw
and a chance to be hugged
nothing less, nothing more
But just as factory is being shut down
a little lad is being shown round
over by bin – he sees the bear’s frown
and little bears luck is turned around
For in days to come, what fun there will be!
With new tops and buttons – and teddy bears teas…
He may be imperfect – said the boy as he roamed
but he’s my favorite bear – as they head off for home!

I’ll be posting another piece from my notebooks later, but I’ve just been informed – c/o my Facebook and Twitter feeds…that it’s Winnie-the-pooh day.
and being an ardent Ursinian (that’s a fan of the Great Bear) – I thought i’d share this as it popped up on my public feed…. Pooh and one of the bees from the honey tree 🙂
Given I’ve been entitled to doing something special for an hour in the day – I might just peruse my big book of Winnie the pooh stories – by AA Milne, and enjoy a little something sweet while i’m reading it…
Have a great day folks!
In response to Suitcase
It’s a little thing,
Just the right size for a little person
containing all those essentials you need
for a holiday on the beach
T-shirts and shorts – in a rainbow of colours
vests and underpants – to keep out the wind
and just in case – his blue raincoat to keep out the rain
(not that its going to)
a book to read at bedtime
and the most important things – his crayons, notepad and..
(last but not least) – his teddy bear
(Mum and Dad are bringing everything else !)
