Cartwright's Innocence Unleashed
Along the mute canal
The Rat walked with his pal
Beyond the second bend
They met another friend
Then, floating in the scum
The body of a chum
Foreshadowing their fate
Consumed with After Eight
Through the lazy fields
A giant parcels wields
Its iron-fisted glove
In love itself with love
Then, just around the bend
Where willows deftly bend,
It finds itself unwrapped
By hope that can't be capped
Behind the market square
Goats wander, with no care
For who, or when or whom
They fasten to their silken loom,
Entangled in their many hircine snares
In sight of hungry grizzly bears
Drawn by the scent of honey
Into futures none too sunny
