| Video Discription | Lines and Squares by A.A. Milne is a nostalgic and funny poem that transports us back to childhood days of avoiding the cracks in the pavement - possibly a child's way of magically trying to control things in their lives. But our childhood worries, or bears, were still lurking nearby just waiting for us to step on a line... What a shame we can't fend off our adult troubles by simply keeping to the squares of the pavement! Life would certainly be a lot less messy wouldn't it! Whenever I walk in a London street, I'm ever so careful to watch my feet; And I keep in the squares, And the masses of bears, Who wait at the corners all ready to eat The sillies who tread on the lines of the street Go back to their lairs, And I say to them, "Bears, Just look how I'm walking in all the squares!" And the little bears growl to each other, "He's mine, As soon as he's silly and steps on a line." And some of the bigger bears try to pretend That they came round the corner to look for a friend; And they try to pretend that nobody cares Whether you walk on the lines or squares. But only the sillies believe their talk; It's ever so portant how you walk. And it's ever so jolly to call out, "Bears, Just watch me walking in all the squares!" From 'When We Were Very Young' by A.A. Milne. Published in 1924 by Methuen & Co. Ltd. (London). Illustrated by E. H. Shepard. *I feel I should credit the brilliant Catherine Russell here. I listened many times to her recording of Lines and Squares before recording mine, but realise now that I was more inspired by Catherine than I realised and there are parts of my recording where I have copied her without realising it at the time! I would encourage you to take a listen to all of her brilliant poetry readings and subscribe to her channel. She has made recordings of many A.A. Milne poems and every one is a gem! Her Youtube channel is the same as her name: 'Catherine Russell'. #aamilnepoems #christopherrobin #whenwewereveryyoung #reminiscencepoetry rhhRm-NW54g |
