Startling Revelation

[scheherazade_79]

Don't get me wrong - I love the world that we live in. I love all the exciting differences in geography, culture, language, history and science... but I love my little microcosm as well.

Because I haven't got off my arse to go and get some extension cable, whenever I'm online I have to sit on the stairs leading up to my attic bedroom (yup, I've finally become the Madwoman in the Attic!).

I was surfing the net a few moments ago, and by chance I came across a poem by AA Milne, that went a little like this:

Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.

It's about ME!

There was a song version of it, too! It was sung by Kermit's nephew, Robin, on The Muppet Show!

This has made my day!

You can always root out middle class people by their knowledge of Winnie The Pooh. I was brought up with it, know all the poems off by heart, taught them to my kids too. My father, who was most definitely working class, did a good job of ensuring his children ended up talking proper and using the right knife and fork, by reading the stories out to us when we were kids. I always hear the poems in his Cockney accent.

(That's how my uncle would have recited it, my dad was a quick learner and became Yorkshire instantly)

There is a lot of wisdom hidden within the pages of Winnie the Pooh.
