There once were two called This and That, One a weasel, one a cat; They lived inside a circus tent, Built on a raft to save on rent.
This, would dress in finest clothes, Silver spectacles on its nose, Whilst That would take a stranger route, And wear a turnip like a suit.
Both This and That would spend their days, Seeking cheese and mayonnaise, These they'd find with twigs and rope, Which they had named a "Cheddarscope".
This, would wave the scope around, And shout to That where could be found A passing snack, or sandwich meal, That with a fishing rod they'd steal.
As they'd sail close to the shore, They'd hook the snack the snacker bore, And whisking it into the air, They'd paddle off, the pilfering pair!
Back up the river they would rush, To their Diner made from brush, And there they'd sit on chairs of twigs, And scoff their cheesy swag like pigs!
They were never caught, that pilfering pair, The cops just did not seem to care, For they could never track or find, Those floating felons of feline kind.
They'd ask the locals if they'd seen, A crime or theft or in between, But their reply would leave them flat, That it was "Oh, just This and That."
