The Christening
What shall I call
My dear little dormouse?
His eyes are small,
But his tail is e-nor-mouse.I sometimes call him Terrible John,
'Cos his tail goes on--
And on--
And on.
And I sometimes call him Terrible Jack,
'Cos his tail goe on to the end of his back.
And I sometimes call him Terrible James,
'Cos he says he like me calling him names. . . .
But I think I shall call him Jim,
'Cos I am so fond of him.
