I am the Most Wise Baviaan, saying in Most wise tones, <br />"Let us melt into the landscape -- just us two by our lones." <br />People have come -- in a carriage -- calling. But Mummy is <br />there. . . . <br />Yes, I can go if you take me--Nurse says she don't care. <br />Let's go up to the pig-styes and sit on the farmyard rails! <br />Let's say things to the bunnies, and watch 'em skitter their tails! <br />Let's'-oh, anything, daddy, so long as it's you and me, <br />And going truly exploring, and not being in till tea! <br />Here's your boots (I've brought 'em), and here's your cap and stick, <br />And here's your pipe and tobacco. Oh, come along out of it -- quick!<br /><br />Rudyard Kipling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-the-leopard-got-his-spots/
