And extinguishipg my taper,
Softly to my bed did creep,
Soon fell into slumber,
And had dreamings without number,

And Internal caterwauling,

AS to me it seemed that night;
The Thomas Cats OF ell creation
Were let out upon probation,
And were scratching like the nation
In an everlasting fight
Hastily throwing up the sashes,
I made divers frantic dashes,
OF shovels full of FIRE and ashes
On the maddened brutes below,
Quick the feuds began to scatter,
And to cease their 'tarnal Clatter,
Having settled thus the matter,
