Hell, Spaw, you know that the professor types always say that the last person to know what a piece of writing's about is the guy who wrote it.

Like Peter Yarrow once said about "Puff," "Here I find out in 'Time' that it's a druggie song. All along I thought it was about a loss of youth and innocence. But what do I know? I only wrote it."

Shuck and darns, I got a book called "The Pooh Perplex" that's got some interesting takes on ol' Winnie The.
