lost and found....

while little bunnie fu fu and her friends
were waiting to hear more of
JOE's
adventures
the thing that shows all
showed them something they were not expecting
.......
news of Henri



we remember the fantastical creatures he had met
when he got
so very very lost
a little turned around



the beautiful water bird had taken pity on
Henri
thinking that this worldly traveller was maybe a little weary of travelling such great distances
and now that he didn't have his little globe to show him the way
because,
well, we know why!!!
and


when it saw the boat that he would have had to sail the mighty pond it just knew that
some how
some way
any way
all ways
possible

it had to help get this tall(ish) dark stranger
back to the other side of the big pond so he could help look for his
third cousin
twice removed
who was
missing
gone
vamoosed
scarpered
somehow missed the turning
one sandwich short of a picnic

and it
told Henri that it was going his way anyway
it said it was time for his kind to fly up North
to spend the summer there in the North
where it was just a little bit cooler
than this place



so turning around
it showed Henri where he could sit






for the long journey across the
big pond
which this fantastical creature knew
was no
pond
Henri
pulled his very fine mariner's hat
with the coloured band
that must have all the colours of all the flags of all the world
down tight
held on to his
finely stitched duffel bag



and climbed aboard
this time
he thought to himself
this time
I shall end up where I am supposed to be
and I shall hurry to Auntie's
Beautiful English Country Garden
and help her find
JOE
even
if she doesn't know
I am there
 if she never sees me
isn't aware of my presence
never sets an eye on me
doesn't cotton to my
........
OK Henri we get it!!!!


so while
little bunnie fu fu stood and watched as the rain came down in sheets
and her view was blurred
and she worried so much for her bun across the big pond
and his cousin on route to assist in finding him


Henri
our brave and worldly
mariner
climbed upon the back of this
fantastical creature
bid
adieu to all those he knew
sent up a prayer of
hope to the gods of the air
land and sea


and after being caught up in the great storm that was raging
the fantastical creature
carrying him on his back
sailed the great ocean of air that
 rushed hither and yon
here and there
over and under
up and over
and
when
finally they saw land and knew they had to land
the fantastical creature
told Henri to hold on tight
and it swooped down out of the clouds
and
down
down
down
it
landed
........................................................................
in

the

wrong
