The Four Friends
Ernest
was
an
elephant,
a
great
big
fellow,
Leonard
was
a
lion
with
a
six
foot
tail,
George
was
a
goat,
and
his
beard
was
yellow,
And
James
was
a
very
small
snail.
Leonard
had
a
stall,
and
a
great
big
strong
one,
Earnest
had
a
manger,
and
its
walls
were
thick,
George
found
a
pen,
but
I
think
it
was
the
wrong
one,
And
James
sat
down
on
a
brick
Earnest
started
trumpeting,
and
cracked
his
manger,
Leonard
started
roaring,
and
shivered
his
stall,
James
gave
a
huffle
of
a
snail
in
danger
And
nobody
heard
him
at
all.
Earnest
started
trumpeting
and
raised
such
a
rumpus,
Leonard
started
roaring
and
trying
to
kick,
James
went
on
a
journey
with
the
goats
new
compass
And
he
reached
the
end
of
his
brick.
Ernest
was
an
elephant
and
very
well
intentioned,
Leonard
was
a
lion
with
a
brave
new
tail,
George
was
a
goat,
as
I
think
I
have
mentioned,
but
James
was
only
a
snail.
