\n<\/strong>We lived beneath the mat,
\nWarm and snug and fat,
\nBut one woe, and that
\nWas the Cat!To our joys a clog,
\nIn our eyes a fog,
\nOn your hearts a log,
\nWas the Dog!<\/p>\n
When the Cat\u2019s away,
\nThen the mice will play,
\nBut alas! one day,
\n(So they say)<\/p>\n
Came the Dog and Cat,
\nhunting for a Rat,
\nCrushed the mice all flat,
\nEach one as he sat,
\nUnderneath the mat,
\nWarm and snug and fat,
\nThink of that!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nThat he met in the house,
\n\u201cLet us both go to law: I will prosecute YOU.
\n\u2013Come, I\u2019ll take no denial;
\nWe must have a trial:
\nFor really this morning I\u2019ve nothing to do.\u201d
\nSaid the mouse to the cur,
\n\u201cSuch a trial, dear Sir,
\nWith no jury or judge, would be wasting our breath.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019ll be judge, I\u2019ll be jury,\u201d
\nSaid cunning old Fury:
\n\u201cI\u2019ll try the whole cause, and condemn you to death.\u201d\u2018<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Final quatrain modified in Books of Wonder editions.<\/strong><\/p>\n Said the mouse to the cur. \u201cSuch a trial, dear Sir. <\/p>\n
