A Dog and Cat Wedding -Nursery Rhyme

Mr. Dog fell in love with a cat,
but their parents would have none of that!
Well, the two of them didn’t lose hope.
Some mice friends advised they elope!
With church mice as witnesses, they
got married the very next day
by the honorable preacher Rat
who wore on his head a big hat.

“Will you take this sweet cat as your wife?”
“Woof, woof! For the rest of my life.”
Then the rat asked the cat, “What say you?”
“Need you ask?” she cried out, "MEW, MEW!”
There was not a dry eye in the house.
Kitty bride served up cheese for each mouse.
Cats with dogs and mice can’t get along?
Mrs. Kitty Dog proves them all wrong.
