69 Servants
The artichoke eyed the chili pepper with murderous contempt
"How dare you, Sir, attempt to leave without paying the rent!
My house, I find, is derelict, betrayed by your unkind
Disposal of my furniture in exchange for rancid wine!"
The chili pepper gazed at him with imperturbable disdain
And threw him out unhesitantly in the drizzling rain:
"Your impudence amazes me, you misbegotten cad!
You should have built me a palace with the rent that you have had!"
The cabbage watched the both of them, but kept an eye out for the mouse
Which used to pay a peppercorn to live inside that house
It urinated everywhere, thus causing great dismay
To Cousin Bertie, Uncle George amd distant Auntie Fay
