The Christening

A.A. Milne

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 fond of him.
