On Wenlock Edge (Tiddly Pom) the wood's in trouble (Tiddly Pom)

twirls, revolutions, spirals, curlicues, what tangled tales we weave
While going through restored old files, I came across this poem from A Shropshire Pooh:

From far, from stream and gorse-bush
   And Hundred-Acre Wood,
The stuffing of life to fill me
   Rolled hither: so it should.

Now — for a stitch I tarry
   Or I will fall apart —
Take me in hand and sew me:
   I'll show you where to start.

Patched now, and I, old favorite,
   Stay worn but get no worse;
And to the wind's twelve quarters
   I'll hum my endless verse.

Speaking of shameful confessions....

---L.

Ever since the first time I read the A.A. Milne "tiddly pom" bit I have added it to many an impromptu poem in my head (and sometimes aloud). Thanks for the smile - I forgot to tell you this when you first posted this!
