Furry Bear
If I were a bear,
And a big bear too,
I shouldnââ,¬â,,¢t much care
If it froze or snew;
I shouldnââ,¬â,,¢t much mind
If it snowed or friz ââ,¬â€�
Iââ,¬â,,¢d be all fur-lined
With a coat like his!

For Iââ,¬â,,¢d have fur boots and a brown fur wrap,
And brown fur knickers and a big fur cap.
Iââ,¬â,,¢d have a fur muffle-ruff to cover my jaws,
And brown fur mittens on my big brown paws.
With a big brown furry-down up to my head,
Iââ,¬â,,¢d sleep all the winter in a big fur bed.

- Winnie the Pooh

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
