Pococurante ...

Pooh
Once was a story written,
     about a little bear,
Who was pococurante in extreme,
     who at the sky would hum and stare.

He searched for both balloons and bees,
     high above his home,
And worried about little,
   as with his piglet friend he’d roam.

But if his honey disappeared,
   and he could not remember why,
His mood would quickly take a fall,
     and he would pout and sigh.

His escapades warm child-like hearts;
    young and old enjoy his tales,
A fuzzy bear with little brain,
     yet over all, prevails.
