The Mouse’s Tail by Lewis Carroll

You don’t have to believe I am reciting this from memory, but I am. Check my work. I doubt it will be perfect. And I am not doing the formatting.

Fury said to a mouse

That he met in a house

“Let us both go to law.

I will prosecute you!

Come there’ll be no denial.

We must have a trial

Cause really this morning I’ve nothing to do.”

Said the mouse to the cur:

“Such a trial, dear sir,

With no jury or judge would be wasting our breath.

“I’ll be judge.

I’ll be jury,”

Said cunning ‘ol Fury.

“I’ll try the whole cause and condemn you to death!”

Who are you?
I’m Fury.
