Classic Poem

I went to market and bought me a cat.
Cat had four legs, I had but two.
'Tis almost midnight, what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a Dog.
Dog wouldn't carry the cat; Cat wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight; what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a Boy.
Boy wouldn't carry the dog;
Dog wouldn't carry the cat; Cat wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight; what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a Stick.
Stick wouldn't beat the boy;
Boy wouldn't carry the dog;
Dog wouldn't carry the cat; Cat wouldn't goo.
'Tis almost midnight; what shall I do?

I went a little further and found me a Fire.
Fire wouldn't burn the stick;
Stick wouldn't beat the boy;
Boy wouldn't carry the dog;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me some Water.
Water wouldn't quench the fire;
Fire wouldn't burn the stick;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me an Ox.
Ox wouldn't drink the water;
Water wouldn't quench the fire;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me a Butcher.
Butcher wouldn't kill the ox;
Ox wouldn't drink the water;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me a Rope.
Rope wouldn't hang the butcher;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me some Grease.
Grease wouldn't grease the rope;
Repeat as before

I went a little further and found me a Rat.
Rat began to eat the grease; Grease began to grease the rope,
Rope began to hang the butcher; Butcher began to kill the ox;
Ox began to drink the water; Water began to quench the fire;
Fire began to burn the stick; Stick began to beat the boy;
Boy began to carry the dog; Dog began to carry the cat;
Cat began to goo,
So now it's all over and I am happy.
