There are lots and lots of people who are always asking things,
Like Dates and Pounds-and-ounces and the names of funny Kings,
And the answer's always Sixpence or A Hundred Inches Long.
And I know they'll think me silly if I get the answer wrong.
So Pooh and I go whispering, and Pooh looks very bright,
And says, "Well, I say sixpence, but I don't suppose I'm right."
And then it doesn't matter what the answer ought to be,
'Cos if he's right, I'm Right, and if he's wrong, it isn't Me.

Nice
The poem is about the general psyche of the common folk. The poet is right about the attitude of such people. This simple poem has a very fine subject. Pooh is a metaphor for a real friend who is not asking questions nor trying to let his friend down with such silly questions.A very Nice poem.
