Musmys

e was a rat, and she was a rat,

And down in one hole they did dwell,

And both were as black as a witch’s cat,

And they loved one another well.

He had a tail, and she had a tail,

Both long and curling and fine,

And each said “Yours is the finest tail

In the world,—excepting mine!”

e smelt the cheese, and she smelt the cheese,

And they both pronounced it good,

And both remarked it would greatly

the charms of their daily food.

o he ventured out, and she ventured out,

And I saw them go with pain,

But what befell them I never can tell,

For they never came back again.
