Emmeline
Has not been seen
For more than a week. She slipped between
The two tall trees at the end of the green.
We all ran after her. "Emmeline,
We didn't mean -
We only said that your hands weren't clean."
And many more rhymes indicating that, to AA Milne at any rate, -line and -lin just don't work. So, rhymes with Josephine, not Caroline or Marilyn.
And, if you're concerned, Emmeline comes back to her distraught family:
"Emmeline! Where have you been?
It's more than a week!" And Emmeline
Said "Sillies. I've been to see the Queen.
She says my hands are perfectly clean."
