mouse's tale

The snake in Martin's oooxxxooo is more sinister than the tale told by the Mouse in Alice in Wonderland. But the shape of the poem is almost identical.

			                    Fury said to a
			                   mouse, That he
			                 met in the
			               house,
			            "Let us
			              both go to
			                law:  I will
			                  prosecute
			                    YOU.  --Come,
			                       I'll take no
			                        denial; We
			                     must have a
			                 trial:  For
			              really this
			           morning I've
			          nothing
			         to do."
			           Said the
			             mouse to the
			               cur, "Such
			                 a trial,
			                   dear Sir,
			                         With
			                     no jury
			                  or judge,
			                would be
			              wasting
			             our
			              breath."
			               "I'll be
			                 judge, I'll
			                   be jury,"
			                         Said
			                    cunning
			                      old Fury:
			                     "I'll
			                      try the
			                         whole
			                          cause,
			                             and
			                        condemn
			                       you
			                      to
			                       death."
