  1. A Rhyme

    Share Share Post
    Ere last night or the night before
    Two black cats came to my door
    I got up and I let them in
    They danced the step of the Highland fling
    One ran up a goose-berry bush
    The other ran up a timber
    One fell down and broke his neck
    The other said "the devil mend you".

    Daddy and Mammy were fighting for flies.
    Daddy left Mammy a pair of black eyes.
    Daddy said to Mammy Will you fight any more
    "I wont" said Mammy my eyes are to sore.
