Pretty John Watts
This old nursery rhyme is called “Pretty John Watts” — enjoy your reading!
“Pretty John Watts,
We are troubled with rats,
Will you drive them out of the house?
We have mice, too, in plenty,
That feast in the pantry;
But let them stay,
And nibble away;
What harm in a little brown mouse?”
