When We Were Very Young/Corner-of-the-Street

by Alan Alexander Milne

CORNER-OF-THE-STREET

Down by the corner of the street,
Where the three roads meet,
And the feet
Of the people as they pass go "Tweet-tweet-tweet"—
Who comes tripping round the corner of the street?
One pair of shoes which are Nurse's;
One pair of slippers which are Percy's. .
