Friendship

[eleneariel]

Where ever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go together," says Pooh.

...

"Lets frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh.
"That's right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his paw and I shouted, "Shoo!
Silly old dragons!" --and off they flew.
"I wasn't afraid," said Pooh, said he,
"I'm never afraid with you."

...

So where ever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
"What would I do?" I said to Pooh,
"If it wasn't for you," and Pooh said: "True,
It isn't much fun for One, but Two
Can stick together," says Pooh, says he.
"That's how it is," says Pooh.

_{A.A. Milne}

that must have been back when they had bad graphics and talked funny.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

actually it's back when there were things like storybooks and illustrators.

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

You speak craziness. What are those things of which you speak?

[pansyprincess.livejournal.com]

The original Pooh movies were based off of books by A.A. Milne, ignoramus. =P

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

And don't you agree with me that the orginal is FAR better?

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

The Disney version has the Hephalumps and Woosles song. Does your old school, bad graphics Pooh have that?

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Better yet, the orginal has the tiddly-pom song.

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

Does that go like "Hi tiddly dee, a pirates life for me"?

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Oh, so close. Yo ho yo ho! A pirate's life for me!

Tiddly-pom, on the other hand, goes like this:
The more is snows
(Tiddely pom),
The more it goes
(Tiddely pom),
The more it goes
(Tiddely pom),
On snowing.
And nobody knows
(Tiddely pom),
How cold my toes
(Tiddely pom),
How cold my toes
(Tiddely pom),
Are growing.

Brilliant piece of writing, isn't it?

[pansyprincess.livejournal.com]

Hehe! I don't remember that one. Is it in any of the movies, or just the books?

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the movies (although I admit having watched the tv show on occasion...), but it's definitely in the books.

[pansyprincess.livejournal.com]

I do. My kids are definitely going to be raised on the Pooh stories. Next time I see a big volume of them, I'm going to snatch it.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I have two copies of almost all the books...early editions, too. *hugs them*

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

How does that have anything to do with what we're talking about? =P

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

Was this back when there was Clifford, The Berenstein Bears, the gay penguin book, and Walter the Farting Dog? :-P

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Those are actually modern storybooks, and not generally very good ones.

I fear for your future children. *facepalm*

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

And what constitutes a good storybook, ms highbrow storybook...person? =P

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

I think Ms. Storybook LADY would be the word you are searching for.

Mainly, anything with "farting" in the title doesn't qualify.

[wandering-flame.livejournal.com]

Lol, I guess that is a pretty good rule of thumb.

[eattheolives.livejournal.com]

Little boys don't need any encouragment, you see.
