This is the weasel, sly and sleek, 



Which between the house and the 

 cage did sneak, 



And killed through the bars the chip- 

 munk bright, 



Which lived in a cage in size just

Which stood by the club house, spick 

 and span, 



Which had for its host the editor man.

 Which had for its host the editor man.

Which stood by the club house, spick And who pushed the cage against the

Which had for its host the editor Crushing the weasel, wicked, though

 Which had lived in the cage in size
