PIGLET SPEAKS

A skittish little thing he (she?) is. Piglet, of the Winnie the Pooh variety. Always a little unsure. Always a little (and often a lot) afraid. And so often startlingly wise. For instance, on page 20 of the 1970 edition of "The House at Pooh Corner", Piglet is quoted as saying to himself, "And I know it seems easy, but it isn't everyone who could do it."

Here, of course, he is directly referencing his contributions of the "tiddly poms" into Pooh's song about the weather and snow and all words that rhyme with snow. But with a little perspective tweaking, Piglet's "tiddly-poms" become the snippets of potential we all get a glimpse of for ourselves and dream of measuring up to one day and perhaps even utilizing.
