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 goes on to the end of his
back. And I sometimes call him Terrible
James, ’Cos he says he likes me calling him names.
But I think I shall call him Jim, ’Cos I AM so fond of him. —A. A. Milne.
