When We Were Very, Very Young
by A.A. Milne
Milne's poem was included in the anthology, The Flying Carpet, edited by Lady Cynthia Asquith.I think I am a Muffin Man. I haven’t got a bell, I haven’t got the muffin things that muffin-people sell. Perhaps I am a Postman. No, I think I am a Tram. I’m feeling rather funny and I don’t know what I am— BUT Round about And round about And round about I go— All round the table, The table in the nursery— Round about And round about And round about I go: 33I think I am a Traveller Escaping from a Bear; I think I am an Elephant Behind another Elephant Behind another Elephant who isn’t really there.... SO Round about And round about And round about and round about And round about And round about I go. I think I am a Ticket Man, who’s selling tickets-please, I think I am a Doctor who is visiting a Sneeze; Perhaps I’m just a Nanny who is walking with a pram. I’m feeling rather funny and I don’t know what I am— BUT Round about And round about And round about I go— All round the table The table in the nursery— 34Round about And round about And round about I go: I think I am a Puppy, so I’m hanging out my tongue: I think I am a Camel Who Is looking for a Camel Who Is looking for a Camel who is Looking for its Young.... SO Round about And round about And round about and round about And round about And round about I go.
