[NPM] today's poem

[angevin2]

Beth asked for today's entry to be "something comforting, like A.A. Milne," so, as per her request, one of my favorites. ;)

I love that one. I used to have it memorized, when I was about ten.

I can still recite it. It's part of family lore now. My dad is a bit like the King, no one can call him fussy, but, boy does he like his own way. My family has a whole lot of in jokes based around the Milne poems. It started with my grandmother, and I hopes of passing it on to my nephews and nieces.

My brother reads that one with voices. I am jealous of his talent.

[angevin2]

Me too! I just don't have the opportunity to read it aloud much.

This was one of my grandmother's and father's favorites... :-D

[angevin2]

There are! I've also been looking at Shel Silverstein but haven't decided which one I want. :D

My favourite is Half way up the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't quite another stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom
I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop.

James James Robinson Robinson Wetherby George Dupree used to worry me - did he ever see his mother again?

James James Morrison's mother was clearly having an affair with King John. And the queen and prince (who disingenuously say they're sorry) had her whacked.

Quite right.

[lapin_agile]

Well. He did warn her.
