Subject: RE: BS: Poems that speak to you.
"There once was a bear who lived in a cave
Whose greatest love was honey
He had tuppence a week which he never could save
So he never had any money
I bought him a money box, big and round
In which to keep his money
He saved and saved 'til he got a pound
Then spent it.......all on honey!"

It was my favourite poem when I was a little girl, and every time I read it, I giggled at the thought of that bear covered in sticky honey with not a penny to his name, but a big, fat, warm tummy..
I was very easily pleased. :0) lol
