My Favourite Poem

This was my favourite poem as a child and it has staid my favourite all my life.
Michelle and I would learn all of the A.A Milne poems of by heart.
It is amazing how you can still recite these so easily without realising it.
Enjoy!
Halfway Down
BY
Alan Alexander (A. A.) Milne


Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.

Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!
