    I have but one horn,
    I'm no unicorn,
    I milk yet I'm no Kerry cow
    My Grandmamma loves me,
    Around the board shoves me,
    With a smile of good will on her brow
    A teapot
    On three legs I stand,
    And when taken in hand
    My nose often points to the light
    Inside i'm as black
    as any coal sack
    But outside I'm polished and bright
