The Book Club


Ollie and Gus
were sitting in the pub,
talking about starting
their own book club.

Ollie had milk,
Gus only water,
and it was he who suggested
reading Beatrix Potter.

Ollie said they should 
order some grub,
and invite Peter Rabbit
to join their club.

Gus wrote the letter
and sent it with pride,
but oh, the sorrow,
Peter never replied.

They might still be waiting,
it’s a shame indeed,
that nobody told them -
rabbits can't read.

Oh, poor Gus and Ollie! I love the little softies and the poem, and I adore the old editions of Beatrix Potter. We visited her house in the Lake District a few years ago and some of the illustrations are based on her home and garden. xx

Gus and Ollie are so cute! I was brought up on Beatrix Potter stories and remember my Granny reading them to me. My favourite was Mrs Tiggywinkle but I quite liked the naughty ones too, like Peter Rabbit and Squirrel Nutkin!
Best wishes

That poem is so adorable. Ollie and Gus are quite cute. Too bad Peter Rabbit couldn't read.
