A while ago, in lonely woods
A very small cottage was hid
And there lived Snitch and Tattler
Who said what each other did
When Snitch woke up in the morning
Tattler called out, “Snitch is awake!”
When Tattler had an apple torte
Snitch cried, “He’s eating cake!”
When Snitch plucked plums from plum trees
Tattler said, “Snitch gathers fruit!”
When Tattler passed gas in the evening
Snitch said, “That was Tattler’s toot!”
When Snitch broke a jar full of flowers
Tattler said, “Snitch smashed our vase!”
And when Snitch found Tattler’s underpants
He cried, “Tattler likes wearing lace!”
And when his roommate stumbled
Tattler called, “Look! Snitch fell down!”
And then when Tattler tried to swim
Snitch said, “He almost drowned!”
Then Tattler had a cup of Joe
And Snitch said, “Tat drinks coffee!”
And then when Snitch ate candy
Tattler said, “Snitch gobbles toffee!”
When Tattler called his mama
Snitch said, “Tattler misses mother!”
When Snitch went out to milk the cows
Cried Tattler: “Snitch touched udders!”
The two of them went on like this
Through every single year
Proclaiming what each other did
Though no one seemed to hear
And do you think it’s silly
To announce what others do?
Well, if you don’t then you might be
A Snitch or Tattler too.
