It's my opinion - though I own <br />In thinking so I'm quite alone - <br />In some respects I'm but a fright. <br />YOU like my features, I suppose? <br />I'M disappointed with my nose: <br />Some rave about it - perhaps they're right. <br />My figure just sets off a fit; <br />But when they say it's exquisite <br />(And they DO say so), that's too strong. <br />I hope I'm not what people call <br />Opinionated! After all, <br />I'm but a goose, and may be wrong! <br /> <br />When charms enthral <br />There's some excuse <br />For measures strong; <br />And after all <br />I'm but a goose, <br />And may be wrong! <br /> <br />My teeth are very neat, no doubt; <br />But after all they MAY fall out: <br />I think they will - some think they won't. <br />My hands are small, as you may see, <br />But not as small as they might be, <br />At least, I think so - others don't. <br />But there, a girl may preach and prate <br />From morning six to evening eight, <br />And never stop to dine, <br />When all the world, although misled, <br />Is quite agreed on any head - <br />And it is quite agreed on mine! <br /> <br />All said and done, <br />It's little I <br />Against a throng. <br />I'm only one, <br />And possibly <br />I may be wrong!<br /><br />William Schwenck Gilbert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-against-the-world/
