Welsh Rabbit Stew

Two fair lassies, Mary Lou and Betty Sue  
Took a stroll in the woods of Honolu
Got lost, of course; they had no clue
When -- oops! -- they bumped into
  Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too 

Wouldn't you know it? They fell in love 
As skies grew ever-blacker above
Pooh-bear and Tigger took the girls' hands
   Led them to familiar land
           How grand!

Where'd they go? 
How'd they get there?
You'd ask, of course. They rode on the back
Of Mr. Ed, the horse, who saw them back
to Honolu:  Mary Lou and Betty Sue
    Winnie-the-Pooh and Tigger too

And what'd they do in old Honolu?
They up and married -- said "I do"
Feasting on fresh Welsh rabbit stew
Followed by cantaloupe and honeydew
   melon, that is, for Winnie-the-Pooh

You may rightly wonder how this
turned out -- Young lassies marrying
a Pooh-bear and a Tigger so stout
  ...Well, I've got extremely
      pleasant news for you

Mary Lou and Betty Sue just loved
to cook Welsh rabbit stew, with 
cantaloupe and honeydew... so
they all lived to the ripe old age 
               of 102!

     And now this fairy tale's
       quite rightly through
