"How sweet to be a Cloud
Floating in the Blue!
Every little cloud
Always sings aloud.
How sweet to be a Cloud
Floating in the Blue!
It makes him very proud
To be a little cloud."

"Here he is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it...Anyhow, here he is at the bottom, and ready to be introduced to you. Winnie-the-Pooh."

A.A. Milne
A.A. Milne is remembered as the author of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories for children. Written with charm, humor, and imagination, his Pooh stories have become classics, loved by young and old alike. Among the memorable characters that Milne introduced in his Pooh books are the teddy bear, Winnie the Pooh; Piglet; and Christopher Robin, a small boy whose creation was inspired by Milne's own son, Christopher Robin. Milne also wrote works for adults, including the plays Mr. Pim Passes By, The Truth About Blayds, and The Dover Road.
His other works for adults include the detective novel The Red House Mystery and a collection of poems, The Norman Church. Autobiography is the story of his life.
a Bear of very Very Little Brain,
and you think of Things,
you find sometimes that a
Thing which seemed very Thingish
inside you
is quite different when it
gets out into the open
and has other people
looking at it."

About Winnie the Pooh
"Winnie the Pooh" was based on the books by A(lan) A(lexander)
Milne which he wrote for his son Christopher Robin Milne.
Christopher received a stuffed bear toy when he was one year old
which was called "Pooh" adapted from a swan they met while
vacationing. The name "Winnie" was taken from an American black
bear cub at the London Zoo in 1914. The rest of Christopher Robin's
toy animals were also written into the stories.

Eeyore
"The old gret donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?"- and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about..."

Tigger's Song
From Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too
Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Performed by: Paul Winchell [Tigger]
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful chaps
They're loaded with vim and with vigor
They love to leap in your laps
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one.
Tiggers are wonderful fellahs.
Tiggers are awfully sweet.
Everyone elses is jealous,
And thats why I repeat...
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Are Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is I'm the only one.
Yes, I'm the only one

Winnie the Pooh Song Lyrics
Winnie the Pooh
From Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree
Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Deep in the hundred acre wood where Christopher Robin plays
You'll find the enchanted neighborhood of Christopher's childhood days
A donkey named Eeyore is his friend and Kanga and little Roo
There's Rabbit and Piglet and there's Owl, but most of all Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh
Willy nilly silly old bear
Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon 
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon.
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't find my
way back to the wood
So help me if you can
I've got to get back
to the House at pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive 
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
and Pooh.
Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the owl if he's there
How to loosen the jar from the
nose of a bear.
It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him
and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered,
"Boy welcome home."
Believe me if you can
I've finally come back to the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds in the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh.
-Kenny Loggins
