HIS MATE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hi-diddle-diddle
Last Line: I struggled to my knees and pulled the trigger.


"Hi-diddle-diddle
The cat and the fiddle"...

I raised my head,
And saw him seated on a heap of dead,
Yelling the nursery-tune,
Grimacing at the moon....

"And the cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon."

And, as he stopt to snigger,
I struggled to my knees and pulled the trigger.
