28 We lived beneath the mat Warm and snug and fat But one woe, + that Was To our joys a clog, In                                                              our eyes a                                                fog, On our hearts a log the dog! When the cat's away, Then the mice will play, But, alas! one day, ( they say) Came the dog and cat, Hunting for a                                                       rat, Crushed the mice all flat, Each one as                               he                                 sat. Underneath the mat, Warm, + snug, + fat— Think of that!
