Practice over Years
(makes imperfect)

Silly
Practice

Silly
Bear
Silly
And old
Bear
Retired on honey
To the house of Mister
Sanders
(second S
backward like
Z
or zed for
England)

And could I live there
With all the honey
And all
The company

I am
(after all)
Silly
And old
And have configured
Me
To be
A bear of very
Little brain

Which is
In
No way
The way that I was named

My mother being
Very smart

And who liked the stories
And so named me for
The keeper
So to say
Of
The bear
Rabbit
The owl
And without doubt
The Piglet

Silly
One
By one
No doubt
But we shall all have tea
And that
(without doubt)
Is smart

C(hristopher) L(eo, could be Robin) Couch
