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.
