A. A. Milne




Cherry Stones

And what about a Cowboy,
Policeman, Jailer,
Engine-driver,
Or Pirate Chief?
What about a Postman — or a Keeper at the Zoo?
What about the Circus Man who lets the people 
        through?
And the man who takes the pennies for the round-
        abouts and swings?
Or the man who plays the organ, and the other 
        man who sings?
What about a Conjuror with rabbits in his pockets?
What about a Rocket Man who's always making 
        rockets?
Oh, there's such a lot of things to do and such a lot 
        to beThat there's always lots of cherries on my little 
        cherry tree!
