this week's theme: poems written by fictional characters - metapoets, if you will.
(Poem #91) Cottleston Pie Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, Why does a chicken? I don't know why. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie, A fish can't whistle and neither can I. Ask me a riddle and I reply Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie. |
This charming little snippet of verse was written by one of my favourite characters, a Bear of Very Little Brain, Winne-the-Pooh. I remember having been fascinated by the surrealism of the 6th line from my childhood days, long ago when all the world and time was young... ... I continue to be fascinated by it :-) As for what sort of beast a Cottleston Pie is, a search of the Web revealed only the following URL: http://www.students.uiuc.edu/~chpeters/cottleston_pie/ Enjoy! thomas.
