Hundred Acre Wood revisited
‘Presumption in favour of sustainable development’
Those are very big words, thinks Pooh
and look what’s happened, muses Eyore,
Tigger running riot with a chainsaw,
Rabbit’s pink nose bloodied.
Eyore isn’t sure if there ever was a Heffalump…
Pooh making up stories again,
still digging holes,
ruining the root system.
Keeping watch, Owl’s head falls off,
bees, departing.
Piglet sidesteps another fallen oak,
thinks ‘A bit more warning would be appreciated’
and wonders,
will I ever grow?
