And Isabel!
"Isabel met an enormous bear,
Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;
The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,
The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.
The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,
How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,
Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up."
Et cetera. And props to Mr. Nash for creating Isabel, because I'm now remembering that I read that poem when I was a girl, and found it cheering for reasons I maybe didn't entirely understand at the time.
