                                  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!
