The horizon is quite far away,
Most things a long way are.
Small children know, try as they may,
They’d never reach that far.
You’d have to have arms really long,
Or be quite short of sight.
Lots of ways would all be wrong,
But one way could be right.
If you stuck your backside out
And reached the whole way round
You could tickle then, without a doubt,
Your bottom when it’s found.
