Welsh Rabbit Stew
Two fair lassies, Mary Lou and Betty Sue
Took a stroll in the woods of Honolu
Got lost, of course; they had no clue
When -- oops! -- they bumped into
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too
Wouldn't you know it? They fell in love
As skies grew ever-blacker above
Pooh-bear and Tigger took the girls' hands
Led them to familiar land
How grand!
Where'd they go?
How'd they get there?
You'd ask, of course. They rode on the back
Of Mr. Ed, the horse, who saw them back
to Honolu: Mary Lou and Betty Sue
Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger too
And what'd they do in old Honolu?
They up and married -- said "I do"
Feasting on fresh Welsh rabbit stew
Followed by cantaloupe and honeydew
melon, that is, for Winnie-the-Pooh
You may rightly wonder how this
turned out -- Young lassies marrying
a Pooh-bear and a Tigger so stout
...Well, I've got extremely
pleasant news for you
Mary Lou and Betty Sue just loved
to cook Welsh rabbit stew, with
cantaloupe and honeydew... so
they all lived to the ripe old age
of 102!
And now this fairy tale's
quite rightly through
