Last Line: "AND THE TIPS OF THEIR TAILS, / INSTEAD OF TWO CATS, THERE WARNT ANY"
Subject(s): ANIMALS;CATS;

There wanst was two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many,
So they quarreled and they fit,
They scratch'd and they bit,
Till, barrin' their nails,
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there warnt any.
