Admirably read by the excellent Nick Way, Us Two comes from Now We Are Six... Which is about the right age group for Ann and Dave. Special thanks to Nick, who flew in from Germany the night before, drove up the motorway, did the reading, came to the afternoon and evening do and then flew back to Germany to work the next day... Much respect! Meanwhile at the wedding this reading reduced the audience to tears, including the hardened registrar.
Us Two
Wherever I am there's always Pooh,
There's always
Pooh & me
Whatever I do, he
wants to do,
"Where are
you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well that's
very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go
together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go
together," says Pooh.
"What's twice eleven?" I said to Pooh,
("Twice
what?" said Pooh to Me.)
"I think
it ought to be twenty-two.
Just what I think
myself," said Pooh.
"It wasn't an
easy sum to do,
But that's what it
is," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what
it is," said Pooh.
"Let's look for dragons," I said to Pooh,
"Yes,
let's," said Pooh to Me
We crossed the
river & found a few -
"Yes those
are dragons all right," said Pooh.
"As soon as I
saw their beaks I knew
That's what they
are," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what
they are," said Pooh.
"Let's frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh.
"That's
right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm
not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his
hand and I shouted "Shoo!
Silly old
dragons!" - and off they flew.
"I wasn't
afraid," said Pooh said he,
"I'm never
afraid with you."
So wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always
Pooh and Me.
"What would I
do?" I said to Pooh,
"If
it wasn't for you," and Pooh said "True,
It isn't much fun
for One, but Two
Can stick
together," says Pooh, says he.
"That's how it is," says Pooh.
