Pooh

Today is National Winnie the Pooh Day!
What grand childhood memories.
The progression of my nicknames
is rooted in this tale.
My Lynette was shortened to Lynnie.
I then became 'Lynnie the Pooh"
which morphed into the ever-eternal 'Pooker'.
I had all kinds of Pooh items.
Books, pins, jewelry, stuffed creatures.
I watched the show whenever possible.
I still have a Pooh sleepshirt.
And you might find me quoting . . .
"Think. Think. Think."
Or when it's very blustery out,
I often hope to find a Piglet pasted to my window.
Doesn't matter any way.
Reach back and grab a hold
of what makes your heart happy.
Don't ever let go.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers,
is I'm the only one!
Enjoy the day.
