What Became of them? by Unknown Author He 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.' He smelt the cheese, and she smelt the cheese, And they both pronounced it 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; But what befell them I never can tell, For they never came back again. |
