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 January 30, 2019

I really like the jazzy pace of this poem, and the whimsical way you have thrown in two of my favorite characters - Tigger and Pooh. It is a wow for me.

Your wow is now a wow for me. … I guess we sound like a dog without a 'b,' (as in bow-wow)! :) gw
