Rats!
They fought the dogs, and killed the cats,
And bit the babies in the cradles,
And eat the cheeses out of the vats,
And licked the soup from the cooks' own ladles,
Split open the kegs of salted sprats,
Made nests inside men's Sunday hats,
And even spoiled the women's chats . . .

For those of you who've read their Browning,
Know the rats all end up drowning,
But these cuties may next week go
To the Casinorama Show -
And if you're lucky you can take a peek. Eeek, eeek, eeeek!
