You're right, that is a great poem.

And thanks for giving Jen and I a taste of it on Saturday night. We had a blast on the drive down (and a drowsy drive on the way back up, even with Mr. Potter & Co. keeping us company).

I used to watch "Captain Kangaroo" when I was a kid in the early 1970s. One recurring segment was a musical setting of Milne's "Buckingham Palace". I knew who Christopher Robin was from the Pooh books, but I assumed that Alice in the poem was the same character as Alice in Wonderland. It wasn't until much later, after looking at Ernest Shepard's illustrations, that I realized that Milne's Alice was Christopher Robin's nurse or nanny. Besides, Carroll's Alice would have been an elderly woman in the 1920s.

Mark, I'd never heard that poem before-- I loved it, and your reading of it!

Redneck, a podcast is a series of recordings-- say, of Mass homilies or of an actual radio show-- which are posted on the internet. They can then be downloaded to one's iPod, or listened to directly on the computer. http://www.answers.com/podcast
