In the Fashion

A lion has a tail and a very fine tail,

And so has an elephant, and so has a whale,

And so has a crocodile, and so has a quail—

They've all got tails but me.

If I had sixpence I would buy one;

I'd say to the shopman, "Let me try one";

I'd say to the elephant, "This is my  one."

They'd all come round to see.
