The pyjamas are a dead giveaway my love

of the playful personality that hides beneath

the shell, what is unseen to those above,

the mischievous Bear, the honey stealing loveable thief.

Pink those Pyjamas are, a shade of salmon that the writer

may have thought impossible outside of a Scottish river bed

and they suit your complexion and your spirit as a Merseyside fighter

whilst taking nothing away from your overall street “cred”

Thankfully this Pooh is not of the cartoon variety

instead it is the one adored by polite society

the beautiful Pooh Bear

emblazoned everywhere

on those Pyjamas so pink and in bedtime fashion

of which can only stir the bedtime passion.
