I know so little

and there is

so much to do

in a Loggins Pooh

way

fashion us a tree

with someone’s name

make sure a supply

of sweet stuff

is laid in for winter

watch out for Rabbit

who might be coming by

having taken count

and found full

containers missing

in the wood

is allowed

and we have tea

beside the tree

and all of us are there

even the boy

with buckled shoes

and such fondness for the bear

while I am looking

for my own
