The Web Poetry Corner - Doug Larson - These Days

These Days

by

Doug Larson

What was once the hundred acre wood
has now been subdivided
there’s a shopping mall and Cineplex
and condominiums for single professionals
"Rabbit, shove your carrot where the sun don’t shine!"
"Piglet, you’re no friend of mine!"
"You bugger off", said Pooh slamming the door
in the face of Christopher Robin.
Turns out the honey pot
was a money pot
Time Warner made a tender offer
and Pooh now eats his fancy schmancy meals
at Italian bistros
and drinks double espressos
while nibbling honey-dipped biscotti
laughing with his thin stylish friends
hiding behind his Bolle’ shades
hoping nobody discovers
what he’s really stuffed with
these days
