Heffalumps And Woozles -

Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day


They're black they're brown they're up their down
They're in they're out they're all about
They're far they're near they're gone they're here
They're quick and slick and insincere
Beware Beware Be a very wary bear
A Heffalump or Woozle is very confusel
The Heffalump or woosel is very sly
- sly - sly - sly
They come in ones and twoosels
but if they so choosels
before your eyes you'll see them multiply
- ply - ply - ply
They're extra-ordinary so better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
- size - size - size
If honey is what you covet you'll find that they love it
Because they guzzle up the thing you prize
They're green they're blue they're pink they're white
They're round they're square they're a terrible sight
They tie themselves in horrible knots
They come in stripes or polka-dots
Beware Beware Be a very wary bear
(musical interlude)
They're extra-ordinary so better be wary
Because they come in every shape and size
- size - size - size
If honey's what you covet you'll find that they love it
Because they guzzle up the things you prize
They're black they're brown they're up their down
They're in they're out they're all about
They're far they're near they're gone they're here
They're quick and slick and insincere
Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware ....
:cool:


Just for you Burtha

I've got a row of Tea Epherlumps on my kitchen shelf now I got another tiny one for Easter. The biggest one is Dadiphant, then there's Mumiphant, then Ezraphant and finally Orleyphant, all different colours and all slightly smaller than the first one, it's lovely and Wilkinsons Teas are very clever!!! Don't have the monkey though.....c'mon 'fess up who has the MONKEY!!!?????

I have a little brooch given me by my godmother when I was about 5. It has a branch with a baby monkey on it and a Mummy monkey hanging from the branch. It's only plastic but it still makes me smile.
Will that do for the moment?

Just brilliant karcher.

Those eferlants sound lovely Lyn i hadn't heard of Wilkinson's Teas until you mentioned them when your newest eferlany arrived!

Welcome back VJsMum - sounds as if you had a good time

OH had to go for a bone density scan today. To our pleased surprise he was seen on time, presumably because it was Saturday. All done and dusted in 15 minutes.

My DGS has Monkey, I think. He also has several meerkats I had quietly coveted for myself but I knew he would love them more.

I have stoneware heffalumps on my floor level window sill. I have never heard of Wilkinson's Tea, and my loyalties lie not with PG but with Yorkshire Tea.
Yorkshire Gold to be precise. Sadly there is no Yorkshire Tea based chai, if there was, my cup would run over. I suppose I could try making my own spice bags to infuse in YT.

Thank goodness you know where the monkey is McCulloch, I trust it's NOT causing mayhem but is behaving with decorum and consideration for your DGS and family? Stoneware heffalumps VERY up market M'dear.....

I'm trying to think where the heffalumps came from now, as trust me, if I bought them it wasn't upmarket. They are lovely though.

I think it may have been Internationale, that well known supplier of low cost household decorative items. I got a lot of stuff from there over the years.

I have a hefalump, she's pink glass and she tinkles, she the top of a windchime.

I have a wooden one DS brought back from Morocco when he visited his sister all by himself when he was 11.
