The Mouse's Tale

by Lewis Carroll

"mine is a long and a sad tale!", turning to Alice, 

and sighing. "it is a long tail, certainly," said Alice, looking

down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; "but why do you call it sad?"

And she kept on puzzling about  it while the Mouse was speaking, so

that her idea of the tale was something like this:-

Fury said to a mouse, that he met in the house,

"Let us both go to law: I will prosecute you,!

Come, I'll take no denial, 

We must have a trial,

For 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 old Fury;

"I'll try the whole cause, and condemn you to DEATH."
