Dirge for William

My mother told me

One day you will find

A house with people in it

Ones who are kind.

(Slay many mice.

Slay many mice.)

You will protect their house

And all the goods within it

They will feed you good food

And love you every minute.

(Slay many mice,

Slay many mice.

Gone to Valhala

Patrol sacred halls

Protect the gods from the mice

Who chitter in their walls.

(Slay many mice,

Slay many mice.)

Catnip fields forever,

Beloved golden warrior

You conquered my heart

I bury a piece of it with you.

Charm  gods of every kind

(Tell them I was yours,

Tell them I was yours.)
