Brother And Sister by Lewis Carroll
'SISTER, sister, go to bed!
Go and rest your weary head.'
Thus the prudent brother said.
'Do you want a battered hide,
Or scratches to your face applied?'
Thus his sister calm replied.
'Sister, do not raise my wrath.
I'd make you into mutton broth
As easily as kill a moth'
The sister raised her beaming eye
And looked on him indignantly
And sternly answered, 'Only try!'
Off to the cook he quickly ran.
'Dear Cook, please lend a frying-pan
To me as quickly as you can.'
And wherefore should I lend it you?'
'The reason, Cook, is plain to view.
I wish to make an Irish stew.'
'What meat is in that stew to go?'
'My sister'll be the contents!'
'Oh'
'You'll lend the pan to me, Cook?'
'No!'
Moral: Never stew your sister.
