These are my two drops of rain <br />Waiting on the window-pane. <br /> <br />I am waiting here to see <br />Which the winning one will be. <br /> <br />Both of them have different names. <br />One is John and one is James. <br /> <br />All the best and all the worst <br />Comes from which of them is first. <br /> <br />James has just begun to ooze. <br />He's the one I want to lose. <br /> <br />John is waiting to begin. <br />He's the one I want to win. <br /> <br />James is going slowly on. <br />Something sort of sticks to John. <br /> <br />John is moving off at last. <br />James is going pretty fast. <br /> <br />John is rushing down the pane. <br />James is going slow again. <br /> <br />James has met a sort of smear. <br />John is getting very near. <br /> <br />Is he going fast enough? <br />(James has found a piece of fluff.) <br /> <br />John has quickly hurried by. <br />(James was talking to a fly.) <br /> <br />John is there, and John has won! <br />Look! I told you! Here's the sun!<br /><br />Alan Alexander Milne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/waiting-at-the-window/
