Pooh Could Bear It No Longer

VISHNU TEMPLE DISTANT

If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep.
--Yiddish proverb

COMANCHE PT.

But Pooh couldn't sleep.
The more he tried to sleep
the more he couldn't.
He tried counting Sheep,
which is sometimes
a good way of
getting to sleep,
and, as that was no good,
he tried counting Heffalumps.
And that was worse.
Because every Heffalump
that he counted
was making straight
for a pot of Pooh's honey,
and eating it all.
For some minutes
he lay there miserably,
but when the five hundred
and eighty-seventh Heffalump

was licking its jaws,
and saying to itself,
Very good honey this,
I don't know when
I've tasted better,
Pooh could bear it no longer.

--A.A. Milne
Winnie-the-Pooh
