Trespassers William, Piglet’s Grandpa,

sat ‘pon a log in the mead.

“Someday, I hope, said the Piggie Grandpa,

that my grand-piglets can read…

 

I hope they will know a Pooh from a Roo.

And why Tiggers are wonderful things.

And how to garden with contrary Rabbits.

And that Owls inherit their wings.

 

And how to have courage.

And how to have friends.

And there’s no one else quite like you.

And to always include every Eyeore you meet,

be they happy or crying ‘Boo-who’.

 

And oh, not to fear any heffalump lumps!

Nor woozles woozling about…

Be brave, little piglets, no matter what;

Shout at them, “P-p-pleaze, stay out!”

 

Maybe Christopher Robin might help me make

A sign that just fits the bill…

We’ll post it right here at Pooh Corner;

And I’ll sign it “Trespassers Will!”
