He & She...........He & She

He was a rat, and she was a rat,

And down in one hole they did dwell.

And each was as black as a witch's hat,

And they loved one another well.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He had a tail, and she had a tail

Both long and curling and fine.

And each said, "My love's tail 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 charm of their daily food.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So he ventured out and she ventured out

And I saw them go with pain.

But what them befell I never can tell,

For they never came back again.
