CHAPTER II. 7
Fishy-Winkle
50
At last they reach a cavern cool,
And sit down in a bunch,
Declaring they wonâ—t budge an inch,
Till they have had some lunch.
CHAPTER II. 8
Fishy-Winkle
55
Right in the middle there appears
An unexpected guest;
Who kindly makes himself at home,
And feeds upon the best.
CHAPTER II. 9
Fishy-Winkle
58
The Haddock-Cat is very kind,
And when the meal is done
Cries: â—Get upon my back, you four,
Iâ—ll take you for a run.â—
CHAPTER II. 10
Fishy-Winkle
63
But nothing daunted, up they get,
And cling with might and main;
I fear they must have caused that Cat
Con-si-der-able pain!
CHAPTER II. 11
Fishy-Winkle
66
That was a game, the children shrieked
And laughed until they cried;
The Cat could never catch at all,
However hard he tried.
CHAPTER II. 12
Fishy-Winkle
71
They led him to a shady wood,
To sniff the cooling breeze,
And watch the poly-poddy frogs
A-jumping in the trees.
CHAPTER II. 13
Fishy-Winkle
74
While there they sat, a cheerful shout
Rang out across the sea;
And Fishy-Winkle sighed and said:
â—I guess theyâ—re calling me.
CHAPTER II. 14
Fishy-Winkle
79
The children followed in his train
As far as they could get,
Until the water got too deep,
And all their clothes too wet.
