The poem
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.
