# you beautiful man
sadly if experience has taught me anything, this week will be filled with people posting derogatory pictures of bagpuss which I'd rather not see, I may go elsewhere for the week and just assume you were all lovely to a very, very lovely and amazing man :(

[challenge entry] I think Mr Postgate himself should win
for writing this......

And when Bagpuss was asleep,
All his friends were asleep.
The mice were ornaments on the mouse organ.
Gabriel and Madeleine were just dolls.
Professor Yaffle was just an old wooden bookend in the shape of a woodpecker.
Even Bagpuss himself, once he was asleep, was just an old, saggy cloth cat,
Baggy, and a bit loose at the seams,
But Emily loved him


Goodnight sir and thank you.
