Prey a Pray, a Prey
In the house of fisherman
an oyster laid among the catch
until a friendly rat came by
who caught the little oysters eye
The oyster cried out from its ledge
take me to the waters edge.
The rat replied, I feel your plight
but I'd rather feed my appetite.
The rodent grabbed the oyster's shell
the oyster opened wide
and clapped down on the rodents head
trapping him inside.
Unable to release himself
the rat was held at bay
until a cat did come along
and made the prey a pray, a prey.
