043. Два кота на Килкенни всего...

Два кота на Килкенни всего...
Каждый лишним считал одного,
И всегда, как врага,
Бил другого, пока
(кроме пары хвостов
и волос от усов)
Не осталось от них — ничего.


Оригинал:

There once were two cats of Kilkenny
Each thought there was one cat too many
So they fought and they hit
And they scratched and they bit
Till (excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails)
Instead of two cats there weren't any!

There is a limerick (with optional added couplet) about the two cats from Kilkenny.
