Now Paw was no younster,he needed his rest
so he laid there as still as could be.
His knees pinned together,he had no defense!
What could he do to get free ?

Eyes welded shut he thought and he thought
he felt Maw curled up by his side.
Her arms on his chest,what a terrible fix,
he couldn't escape if he tried.

"Oh Daisy !" said he in an audible voice
then he jumped up and hopped to the door.
The rolling pin grabbed, Maw held over her head,
Paw knew if she caught him he,d surely be dead !

You see Maws' first name wasn't Daisy.
Daisy worked in a Bumpkinville shop.
Paw,d explain later,it was just a bad dream,
as he cleared the front door with one hop !

POOR PAW
