Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
I don't much care if it rains or it snows,
'Cos i've got a lot of honey on my nice new nose,
I don't much care if it rains or it thaws,
'Cos I've got a lot of honey on my nice clean paws!
Sing Ho! for a Bear!

And I'll have a little something in an hour or two!

how do nice clean paws and honey on said paws go together?  If the paws
have honey on them, how can they be clean?
New nose?  what happened to the old one?

Read the book.

You want me to read!!!  <sigh>  If I have to. . .

It really is a great book.  I'd forgotten how much I like 'children's' books.

I love that book.

Cottleson, cottleson, cottleson pie!

Anne, you babysit, I'll let you read it...

Actually, one of the best children's books is _Harold and the Purple Crayon_
Really good book!  Kami, if it can wait until the term is over- no prob. 
Until then- prob.  Course, that's only like two weeks.  AAGH!!

don't think that book is going anywhere in a hurry.

Roald Dahl does a wonderful grim Fairy Tales, too!  (That's grim, *not
Grimm's!)

"when you wake up in the morning, Pooh,"said Piglet at last, 
"what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" siad Pooh.  "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.  "It's the same thing," he said.

"What's that?" The Unbeliever asked.
"Wisdom from a Western Taoist," I said.
"It sounds like something from Winne-the-Pooh," he said.
"It is," I said.
"That's not about Taoism," he said.
"Oh, yes it is," I said.
"No it's not," he said.
"what do you think it's about?" I said.
"It's about this dumpy little bear that wanders around asking silly questions,
making up songs, and going through all kinds of adventures, without
ever accumulating any amount of intellectual knowledge or losing his
simpleminded sort of happiness.  that's what it's about," he siad." Same
thing," I said.

---just a little sample of the wonderful book "The Tao of Pooh"
by Benjamin Hoff, a great companion to the Pooh books for grownups
rediscovering them.

Oh oh OH!!!!  i want that.  I want that BAD!!!!

I have it.  It's a wonderful book.  

Its rule.

I liked it.  And I enjoyed "The Te of Piglet" too.  Neat books!

Read the Tao of Pooh.  I enjoyed it thoroughly, much more than I expected.
Is The Te of Piglet as good? My sons girlfriend has it.  I shall borrow it.

The Te is not as good as the Tao.
Then again, Pooh is not as cute as Piglet.
So all things are in balance.

The Te was went into more depth.  It wasn't as fun as the Tao, but
it was more rewarding.

If you like tao and te... read the Tao of Meow. It's the Tao from the eyes
of a cat. Very well written and humurous. Well worth the read.

What about the Tao of Mack?

better a towel for mack

Y'all just jealous.
