10- The Awfull Battle Of The Pekes And The Pollicles 2ki2p

Munkustrap has assembled some entertainment for Deuteronomy. The cats put on a show called "The Awful Battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles together with The Marching Song of the Pollicle Dogs." In the show, which Munkustrap narrates, the cats dress up as two rival dog factions: the Pekes and the Pollicles. The two groups bark ceaselessly at each other, until they are frightened away by the great Rumpus Cat, a sleek, powerful feline. Of the awful battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles Together with some Of the participation Of the Pugs and the Poms, and the intervention of the Great Rumpus Cat The Pekes and the Pollicles, everyone knows, Are proud and implacable, ionate foes; It is always the same, wherever one goes And the Pugs and the Poms, although most people say That they do not like fighting. Yet, once in a way, They now and again into the fray And they: All Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Munkustrap Until you could hear them all over the park Now on the occasion of which I shall speak Almost nothing had happened for nearly a week (And that's a long time for a Pol or a Peke). The big Police Dog was away from his beat - I don't know the reason, but most people think He slipped into the Wellington Arms for a drink - And no one at all was about on the street When a Peke and a Pollicle happened to meet. They did not advance, or exactly retreat, But they glared at each other, and scraped their hind feet, And they: Peke Bark Pollicle Bark Peke Bark Pollicle Bark Bark Peke Bark Pollicle Bark Peke Bark Munkustrap Until you could hear them all over the park And they: Pekes Bark Pollicles Bark Pekes Bark Pollicles Bark Bark Pekes Bark Pollicles Bark Pekes Bark Munkustrap Until you could hear them all over the park Now the Peke, although most people may say what they please, Is no British Dog, but Heathen Chinese And so all the Pekes, when they heard the uproar, Some came to the window, some came to the door; There was surely a dozen, more likely a score. And together they started to grumble and wheeze In their huffery-snuffery Heathen Chinese. But a terrible din is what Pollicles like, For your Pollicle Dog is a Doryorkshire tyke, Pollicles There were dogs out of every nation The Irish, the Welsh, and the Dane The Russian, the Dutch, the Dalmation And even from China and Spain From the poodle, the balmy Alstation And the Basset who growls on the train Munkustrap And to those that are frisky and frollicle That my mean be perfectly plain Pollicles That my name is Little Tom Pollicle And you better not do it again! Munkustrap And his braw Scottish cousins are snappers and biters, And ever dog-jack of them notable fighters; and so they stepped out with their pipers in order, Playing When the Blue Bonnets Came Over the Border Then the Pugs and the Poms held no longer aloof, But some from the balcony, some from the roof, ed in To the din With a: All Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Bark Munkustrap Until you could hear them all over the park All Huffery-snuffery, huffery-snuffery, Huffery-snuffery, huffery-snuff! Munkustrap Until you could hear them all over the park. All (Barking) Munkustrap NO!! When these bold heroes together assembled, The traffic all stopped, and the Underground trembled, And some of the neighbors were so much afraid That they started to ring up the Fire Brigade. When suddenly up from a small basement flat. Why who should stalk out but, All The Great Rumpus Cat! Munkustrap His eyes were like fireballs fearfully blazing, He gave a great yawn, and his jaws were amazing; And when he looked out through the bars of the area, You never saw anything fiercer or hairier. What with the glare of his eyes and his yawning, The Pekes and the Pollicles quickly took warning. He looked to the sky and he gave a great leap - And they every last one of them scattered like sheep. And when the Police Dog returned to his beat, There wasn't a single one left on the street. All All hail and all bow to the Great Rumpus Cat! 1g3029
