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
Salford, 17th November 2017
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 !)
While out on Holiday to Oledeniz in Turkey – I took along a very special guest
My little mascot – Bean Bear! He’s a winnie-the-pooh beanbag that’s been
up and down the uk and to places in Spain, Greece, and Turkey with me. For some reason,
he makes me calm when i’m on plane journeys…and that’s probably down to the fact the bigger
version of him was used to calm me down when I was in hospital facing an operation.
A different place,
a different wall.
He sits on the bed,
Where he knows he won’t fall.
He’s travelled to places,
both far and of wide,
he likes the warm sunshine,
but prefers inside.
He’s the small yellow bear,
who reminds you you’re home
whether out on the sands,
or under a dome.
And he’ll sit there on
His nice new spot.
With the cool breeze
He likes that a lot!
And he’ll stay with you there,
till you head for the beach
when he’ll stay in your pocket,
he’s not out of reach.
And he’ll stay till it’s time
to get back in your case
and it’s time to go home
or to some other place.
A tale of Lark Hill Place, Salford by inky.
As you walk into Lark Hill Place,
and head over limestone and cobbled space
at the end of the street, something catches young eyes
in Radcliffe’s toyshop there on by
Stuffed toy animals, puzzles and blocks
Snakes and Ladders, and marbles from rocks.
Noah’s ark, animals – punch and judy too
Made for the kid who’s after summat new.
Whipping tops provide a young lad with a smile,
whilst saving his pocket money for a brief while
praying that Santa will deliver of course
a brand new and wonderful bright rocking horse
But for now he’ll play marbles wi’ kids on the street
and then after chores head to shop for a treat
then he’ll play with his animals on the step or in th’park
before heading for bed – just before dark.
Bear sits
Under his tree.
Yes, its time for tea.
The bees work by day and by night
Making
Delicious, Delightful, Honey
And he will enjoy the
Wonderful treat
Up high
