“WE’VE LOST OUR JOB.”
Reading edition
Stanley Schell.
Action Poem for Two Children.
Written especially for this book.
WE’VE lost our job, and can’t you see The tears we both are shedding free? No dainty rats or mice to get: They’re killed to-day by rat biscuit. Why are we wronged so, can you tell? I’m sure you all do know so well The fun we’ve lost, and good work too, By catching rats and mice a few. Do give us both another chance, To catch your mice and make them dance; I’m sure you all know just how hard It is for us to lose our job.
