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.

I utterly loved bagpuss when I was little.
I find it hard to believe there were only 13 episode.
