WHAT BECAME OF THEM
He was a rat and she was a rat,
And down in one hole they all dwell,
And both where as black as a witch’s cat,
And they loved one another well.
…
He had a tail, and she had atail,
Both long and slender and fine;
And each said; “Yours is the finest tail
In the world, excepting mine.”
…
He smelt the cheese, and she smelt the cheese,
And they both pronounced it’s good;
And both remarked it would greatly add
To the charms of their daily food.
…
So he ventured out, and she ventured out,
And I saw them go with pain;
And now what befall them I never can tell,
For they never came back again.
