Pooh Thomas was eating his honey sandwiches when Christopher Solomons came in.  “Well, Pooh,” said A.S,, “10th in the Premiership isn’t bad for what Mr Milne called ‘a bear of little brain’.” But it’s not very either said Piglet Iro 

            “Yes,” said Pooh seriously, “but Tigger’s arriving on Saturday Afternoon, we’ll have to play better than we did down in deepest Devon or he’ll bounce all over us.”

            “You’re right there,” interrupted Eeyore Drake. “We’re physically tough alright, but have we got the mental toughness to believe in ourselves? After all, Tiggers feed on raw meat.”

            “Cheer up, Pooh”,  said Piglet Iro.  “It’s time Tiggers took a tumble, and our pack is hungry.”

            “”Yes, and the backs are nearly there as well,” commented Jonah Roo.  “They don’t call me the Wizard of Oz for nothing.”

            “Listen to them, Pooh,” said AS.  “If you manage to out-tigger the Tigers, you’ll be known as Pooh the Whizz for ever more.”

            “I know,” said Pooh.  “But how shall we do it.  Tigger’s bringing a lot of his friends.  They’re lean and mean because they haven’t had a good meal in weeks. I’ve heard that even without the African Tribesmen, they’re still really dangerous.”

            “Yeh,” said Eeyore gloomily. “Look who’s coming to dinner: Gengy the Gorilla, Cole the Bad and any amount of Uglies.  They’ll have Gorgeous Geore Ford and Ben the Menace Youngs and loads of other villains.”

            “Don’t worry,” said the Wizard of Oz.  “You want a storybook ending don’t you?  That’s where we’ll go for help.”

            “Agreed,” chipped in Piglet.  “With a little help from our friends we’ll unbounce Tigger.”

The Wizard of Oz was as good as his word and along the Yellow Brick Road into Sixways strode a stream of heroic figures. 

First came the Famous eight, led by Bulldog Sutherland and including the twins, TweedleCleggy and TweedleGarve, Shrek’s cousin Sione and Twizzle Baldwin with his friend big Chris. The Three Musketeers – Kev, Sam and Kyle -  were close behind.

Next along the way came the deadly shot, Robin Searley Hood and his sonic partner, Chudders.

They were followed by the masked and enigmatic crusaders, Ollie Zorro and the Lone Morris Ranger.

On the wing overhead zoomed the two fliers, Biggles Duhan and the Sprightly Noah Raven.  Finally, through the open window of the Six Ways Suite swooped the diminutive figure of Peter Shilly Pan.  

            Even then, the group was not complete. 

Waiting by the ice bath were the wounded figures of Long John Hatherell Horatio Jack Owlett and, best of all,

Captain Willie Himself, temporarily released from his desert island in Gloucester by the English Family Solomons.

            “Right,” said Eeyore. “No more honey. It’s fish oil all round.”

            “Let’s get to hunting,” growled Pooh.

Hey, bungalow bill

What did you kill

Bungalow bill? 

He went out tiger hunting with his elephant and gun

In case of accidents he always took his mom

He’s the all american bullet-headed saxon mother’s son.

All the children sing

Hey bungalow bill

What did you kill

Bungalow bill? 

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies

Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise

So captain marvel zapped in right between the eyes

All the children sing

Hey, bungalow bill

What did you kill

Bungalow bill? 

The children asked him if to kill was not a sin

Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in

If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him

All the children sing

Hey, bungalow bill

What did you kill

Bungalow bill?
