A Mouse Beneath the Cellar Door
--------------------------------
Nephthys sleeps while Isis snores
between the first and second floors.
Was that a squeak, did someone hear
a mouse beneath the cellar door?
Isis sweet and Nephthys dear,
you silly dogs have naught to fear.
The mouse is napping in its hole,
go back to sleep, there's no one near.
Nephthys dreams her rawhide roll
was stolen by a velvet mole
and that a yellow parakeet
has perched upon her water bowl.
Nephthys dear and Isis sweet,
nobody here has robbed your treat.
The velvet mole is underground,
go back to sleep and twitch your feet.
Isis dreams a basset hound
is in our garden and has found
her rubber ball, and to her dread,
begins to chase her toy around.
Isis grey and Nephthys red,
how many times must this be said?
There is no basset hound that tours
the garden now, go back to bed.
