There is a great irony in the title, the wisdom being shared on the one day the poet was absent
The line ‘The English lesson was that I am is a complete sentence’ is a poem in itself

It's a funny pull quote from the itch page description.
A Hundred Acre Carol by @shannonmcmaster.bsky.social is out now. 💜
"I cannot pretend this is anything other than it is, a clumsy copy change of Dickens’s humane classic with Milne’s often tender characters swapped in for Scrooge, Marley, and the others."
