A Twist of Words
From the view of her portrait, Mrs Black watches the young Lestrange couple leave her house for the last time.
He was a rat, and she was a rat,
And down in one hole they did dwell,
And both were as black as a witch's cat,
And they loved each other well.
He had a tail, and she had a tail,
Both long and curling fine;
And each said, "Yours is the finest tail
In the world, excepting mine."
He smelt the cheese and she smelt the cheese,
And they both pronounced it good;
And both remarked it would greatly add
To the charms of their daily food.
So he ventured out, and she ventured out,
And I saw them go with pain;
But what befell them I never can tell
For they never came back again.
