Cat In Rat Hole-Nursery Rhyme

In an old house there once lived a black cat
From half a mile she could smell a fat rat
She was too lazy to run
Liked to spend time in the sun
Lounging on worn out red and white frayed mat.

One day when she did not find her food bowl
She had no doubt it was the rat that stole
Her stomach began to burn
She saw the rat on the run
Chasing it her head got stuck in its hole.
