Winnie- The- Pooh: Words Of Wisdom

Winnie- the- Pooh might have been described

As a bear of little brain, but sometimes

Words of wisdom are born from relaxed minds

That do not think too much. A mind that tries

Too hard, makes one tense, awkward and confused.

This wasn’t the case with Winnie the Pooh.

He just let things happen in the right way,

At the right time. He renounced work for play.

A Sonnet Of Sorrow

In the dusty ballroom, the old man plays

On his piano, the same hackneyed songs,

He has performed for forty years. Now grey

And balding, he sings sadly to no- one

In particular, in a broken voice.

He regrets the many wasted moments

That have passed him by, and myriad joys,

That could have been his. The sounds and the scents

Of childhood, he still acutely senses.

He’s haunted by memories in the night.

Long lost lovers and friends hover like ghosts

Over his bed. He is far from the light,

That once cradled him, when he was a child

Something precious deep within him has died.

Beneath The Moon…

Beneath the moon, the owl hovers,

While the spring flowers sleep and dream

Of deep green and golden summer

Days; blessed by sumptuous sun beams.

To My Valentine: ( Love Theme)

Lavender’s blue; lavender’s green.
We’ll fulfil all our precious dreams.
When I am king, you shall be queen.
We’ll dissolve in Love’s endless seas.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee

We can vote for Tweedledum or Tweedledee

In these illusory, modern democracies.

It doesn’t matter if you choose red or blue,

The deep state and its agents always win through.

The main role of Tweedledum and Tweedledee

Is to distract. They are a sideshow you see.

For recognition, they are always battling,

And constantly engage in sabre-rattling.

They are past masters of empty rhetoric.

It’s advisable to avoid all their tricks.

Nobody quite knows which one is which, it seems,

But they’re always selling capitalist dreams.
