AND WHEN THEY ALL MEET! by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: COME TO THE LOVE FEAST, PUSSIE. WE WANT YOU RIGHT AWAY
Last Line: WHEN NO ONE OF THE GUESTS COULD FIND AN ANIMAL TO SLAY!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; WAR;

"Come to the love feast, Pussie. We want you right away."
"I'm busy catching birds, sir. I'll come some other day."
"We're going to have a love feast, Sir Toad, and wait for you."
"I'm busy catching flies, now; and won't tomorrow do?"
"Come to the love feast, Robin. We need your merry song."
"I'm busy catching insects, but I'll be there ere long."
"Grave Mistress Owl, a love feast waits your wisdom so sublime."
"I'm killing mice at present, sir. I'll come another time."
So they postponed the love feast till they could find a day
When no one of the guests could find an animal to slay!
