Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHI| A rat who'd gorged a box of bane | A |
| And suffered an internal pain | A |
| Came from his hole to die the label | B |
| Required it if the rat were able | B |
| And found outside his habitat | C |
| A limpid stream Of bane and rat | C |
| 'T was all unconscious in the sun | D |
| It ran and prattled just for fun | D |
| Keen to allay his inward throes | E |
| The beast immersed his filthy nose | E |
| And drank then bloated by the stream | F |
| And filled with superheated steam | F |
| Exploded with a rascal smell | G |
| Remarking as his fragments fell | G |
| Astonished in the brook 'I'm thinking | H |
| This water's damned unwholesome drinking ' | I |
