"A mostly sunny day, to some, can look a lot like partly gray."
from "Lessons from the Hundred-Acre Wood" by Hallie Marshall
You think you can
Depend on tails..
You don't expect tails
To go wrong..
The last time I looked
It was right there..
Now when I look there,
It's gone.
It was always
Just behind me,
Always tagging along.
A little something
at the back...
I thought it was there,
And it's gone.
I assumed it was
Attached to me,
That it actually
Hung true.
I'd hoped it was stuck
Very firmly on.
Maybe we needed
Some glue.
It used to trail
Right behind me,
Always tailing along.
My little extra
At the back...
I thought it was there,
Now it's gone.
from "Lessons from the Hundred-Acre Wood" by Hallie Marshall
The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
