So As To Look Ready For Anything

Dvořák : String Quartet No 12 ..."American"

Christopher Robin
was sitting
outside his door,
putting on his Big Boots.
As soon as he saw
the Big Boots,
Pooh knew
that an Adventure
was about to happen,
and he brushed the honey
off his nose with
the back of his paw,
and spruced himself up
as well as he could,
so as to look
Ready for Anything.

--A. A. Milne
