When Jacky drown'd our poor cat Tib, / He told a very naughty fib, / And said he had not drown'd her; / But truth is always soon found out -- / No one but Jack had been about / The place where Thomas found her.
And Thomas saw him with the cat / (Though Jacky did not know of that), / And told papa the trick; / He saw him take a slender string / And round poor Pussy's neck then swing / A very heavy brick.
