JACK SPRAT
Had a cat,
It had but one ear;
It went to buy butter,
When butter was dear.

DL.

PRETTY John Watts,
We are troubled with rats,

Will you drive them out of the house?
We have mice, too, in plenty,
That feast in the pantry;

But let them stay,
And nibble away:
What harm in a little brown mouse?
