SEASONS
IN THE WOOD
spring

Oh, the butterflies are flying,
Now the winter days are dying,
And the primroses are trying
To be seen.
And the turtle doves are cooing,
And the woods are up and doing,
For the violets are blue-ing
In the green.

Oh, the honey-bees are gumming
On their little wings, and humming
That the summer, which is coming
Will be fun.
And the cows are almost cooing,
And the turtle-doves are mooing,
Which is why a Pooh is pooing
In the sun

.For the spring is really springing,
You can see the skylark singing,
And the blue-bells, which are ringing,
Can be heard.
And the cuckoo isn't cooing,
But he's cucking and he's ooing,
And a Pooh is simply poohing
Like a bird.

Spring: A Pooh time to have fun with one's friends, to go for walks, to see the flowers.  To hear the bees buzzing (making honey) and perhaps even to go on a picnic.  Leap-frog, seems like a great idea !!
Even flying a kite.

Just a little,
Fair-sized basket, an ordinary biggish,
sort of basket, full of....."

that morning to pick himself

summer

I'm fishing
Don't talk, anybody, don't come near!
Can't you see that the fish might hear?
He thinks I'm playing with a piece of string;
He thinks I'm another sort of funny sort of thing,
But he doesn't know I'm fishing -
He doesn't know I'm fishing
That's what I'm doing -
Fishing.

Now We Are Six
On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
"Now is it true, or is it not,
"That what is which and which is what?"

Winnie-the-Pooh
Summer: The time to take lazy warm days, slowly. To go fishing with a friend; or just to be with one.  To share thots, and poems and hums.  To sit and do nothing, just enjoy the warm summer days in the Wood, to perhaps play 'Poohsticks'

".........because Eeyore wanted to tell Tigger How to Win at Poohsticks, which you do by letting your stick drop in a twitchy sort of way, if you understand what I mean..........
...........For a long time they looked at the river beneath them, saying nothing, and the river said nothing too, for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this Summer afternoon."

"The sun was so delightfully warm, and the stone, which had been sitting in it for a long time, was so warm too, that Pooh had almost decided to go on being Pooh....."
