The Chase

Round and round and round she goes

Over the mumpers, through the rows

After a thief who has stolen her heart

They come together, then they must part

Caught up in their strange, and intricate dance

Created not so much by fate, but chance

She Dogs him hard and catches the con

But time and again he's out before dawn

To once more begin their chase in the night

A game that they play away from the light

For she is the Dog who leads the pack

And he the Rat with a throne at his back

So they'll go on, till their lives do end

Then off and away the pigeons shall send

Their souls still racing into the dark

Now he is chasing her challenging bark

So they'll continue their fleet footed play

That's they'll go on, for eternity and a day

Fin.
