| Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, we're a notorious couple of cats. As knock about clowns, quick change comedians, tight rope walkers and acrobats. We have an extensive reputation. We make out home in vVictoria Grove. This is merely our center of operation, for we are incurabely given to rove. When the family assembled for Sunday dinner, and their mind's made up that they won't get thinner. Argentine joint, potato and greens, then the cook would appear from behind the scenes, and say in a voice that was broken with sorrow, "I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow, for the joint has gone from the oven like that." Then the family would say "It's that horrible cat!" Was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? And most of the time, they'd leave it at that. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazeer have a wonderful way of working together. And some of the time you would say it as luck, or some of the time you would say it was weather. We go through the house like a hurricane, and no sober person can take his oath, was it Mungojerrie or Rumpleteazer? Or could you have sworn that it might've been both? And when you hear a dining room smash, or up from the pantry, there comes a loud crash. Or down from the library came a loud ping, from a vase which was commonly said to be ming. Then the family would say, "Now which was which cat?" It was Mungojerrie And Rumpleteazer, And there's nothing at all to be done about that! |
