Punky Dunk and the Mouse. Unknown

      Punky Dunk, very sly, with a wink of his eye

      Strolled lazily all through the house;

      To the cellar he went and the morning he spent

      On a hunt for a fat little mouse.

      "Over there by the coal," he said, "Mouse has his hole,

      So I'll sit there beside it and wait.

      There's a trap with some cheese just as nice as you please,

      And Mouse soon will come out for that bait."

      Punky sat by the trap, and seemed taking a nap,
