Oh Pooh

*Reflections from Japan's Disaster.....

Oh Pooh what are we going to do?
Can you get Tigger and the crew
to put back our city with crazy glue?

Oh Pooh, my cradle and chair used
to be over there, now they are gone
and so are the adults,

Is this a dastardly act to turn all
us kids into nuts?
Yesterday we ruled the world
with our minds and technology,

Today, we are unfolding our own
devastating trilogies,
Oh Pooh, if only life was as simple
as honeybees and trees,
instead of threats of radiation and disease.
