The mouse,

The mouse is in the house,

He is running about,

Working his route,

Over and over again.


The cat,

The cat is that,

That of a rat,

A rat's tail, that is.


A pinch off the nose,

A cut from a rose,

Sprayed down with the hose.

The master's prose.


The cat,

The mouse,

The master.


The "Holy everlaster"

Buried in that plaster,

Sunken is a caster,

Stone and alabaster.


Reality is red,

The master,

The mouse,

The cat,

They were already dead.
