There are lots and lots of people who are always
asking things,
Like Dates and Pounds-and-ounces and the names
of funny Kings,
And the answer's always Sixpence or A Hundred
Inches Long.
And I know they'll think me silly if I get the
answer wrong.
So Pooh and I go whispering, and Pooh looks
very bright,
And says, "Well, I say sixpence, but I don't suppose
I'm right."
And then it doesn't matter what the answer ought
to be,
'Cos if he's right, I'm Right, and if he's wrong,
it isn't Me.
