A Case of Sibling Rivalry

In ancient Pompeii a shepherding brat
Would cry, “Wolf!” while his sister looked after the cat
She’d stroke it and groom it and giggle with glee
And sometimes, for fun, she’d run out shouting, “Flea!”

Damn!

The beaver had his tail cut off
You might say he was fated
Instead of being normal length
He’s been abbeaverated
