I Mr. R. was in rapt reverie Mr. M rowed the boat A last minute rescue mission For otter gone over, for a Piper Not Pied, but he may as well have been Lured the junior from Mr. Portly O. Otter senior, according to K. Grahame II Before messrs R & M (rat & mole) that is, Found the young otter who'd gone missing Causing grief to all back home, & Dad - They found God: Awe, Presence, Friend & Helper Led by the piping of a heavenly Piper In the chapter of WIND IN THE WILLOWS named: The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn If a Rat & Mole can find God through Music, What's your Excuse (no pressure, LOL!) III President Teddy Roosevelt wrote the author, 17 January 1909, from the White House, that he had come round to liking the (third) book by Kenneth Grahame. Most readers & critics, & the public resisted liking this book because of his earlier success (with two children's stories). Grahame's Rat, Mole, Badger, Toad, and Otters have become widely accepted & loved. Better late than never. Thx Teddy Bear Prez. (Prez. TR founded the US Wildlife Refuge system)
