JOHN WATTS by ANONYMOUS

First Line: PRETTY JOHN WATTS / WE ARE TROUBLED BY RATS
Last Line: WHAT HARM IS A LITTLE BROWN MOUSE?

PRETTY John Watts,
We are troubled with rats,
Will you drive them out of the house?
We have mice, too, in plenty,
That feast in the pantry;
But let them stay,
And nibble away:
What harm is a little brown mouse?
