Back to the last poem!Back to Pooh's Poetry CornerWe've reached the end - go back to the index.

 
The Friend
There are lots and lots of people who are always asking things, 
Like Dates and Pounds-and-ounces and the names of funny Kings, 
And the answer's always Sixpence or a Hundred Inches Long. 
And I know they'll think me silly if I get the answer wrong. 

So Pooh and I go whispering, and Pooh looks very bright, 
And says, "Well, I say sixpence, but I don't suppose I'm right." 
And then it doesn't matter what the answer ought to be, 
'Cos if he's right, I'm Right, and if he's wrong, it isn't Me.
