A lion has a tail and a very fine tail, <br />And so has an elephant, and so has a whale, <br />And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail– <br /> They’ve all got tails but me. <br /> <br />If I had sixpence I would buy one; <br />I’d say to the shopman, ‘Let me try one’; <br />I’d say to the elephant, ‘This is my one.’ <br /> They’d all come round to see. <br /> <br />Then I’d say to the lion, ‘Why, you’ve got a tail! <br />And so has the elephant, and so has the whale! <br />And, look! There’s a crocodile! He’s got a tail! <br /> You’ve all got tails like me!’<br /><br />Alan Alexander Milne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tails-2/
