The Junior Woodchuck Manual

 

The Junior Woodchuck Manual is online now

But there it loses some of its magic

I’m keeping the tattered hardback of our youth

The trusty companion of our childhood days

 

When every summer oak concealed a dragon

And paths through the woods led to Neverland

The cattle pond was a mysterious sea

With a magic kingdom on the other side

 

Worlds better than this one, and far more true -

Oh, yes, I know that you remember too!



(Thank you, Uncle Walt, for everything.)
