Something sort of sticks to John.
(James was talking to a fly.)
John is waiting to begin.
John has quickly hurried by.
These are my two drops of rain
Waiting on the window-pane.
Look! I told you! Here's the sun!
All the best and all the worst
One is John and one is James.
I am waiting here to see
John is moving off at last.
(James has found a piece of fluff.)
Both of them have different names.
James is going pretty fast.
Comes from which of them is first.
James is going slowly on.
James has just begun to ooze.
John is rushing down the pane.
John is there, and John has won!
He's the one I want to lose.
James is going slow again.
He's the one I want to win.
John is getting very near.
Which the winning one will be.
James has met a sort of smear.
Is he going fast enough?
