    Matilda told such Dreadful Lies,

    It made one Gasp and Stretch one's Eyes;

    Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,

    Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,

    Attempted to Believe Matilda:

    The effort very nearly killed her,

    And would have done so, had not She

    Discovered this Infirmity.

    For once, towards the Close of Day,

    Matilda, growing tired of play,

    And finding she was left alone,

    Went tiptoe to the Telephone

    And summoned the Immediate Aid

    Of London's Noble Fire-Brigade.

    Within an hour the Gallant Band

    Were pouring in on every hand,

    From Putney, Hackney Downs, and Bow.

    With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,

    They galloped, roaring through the Town,

    'Matilda's House is Burning Down!'

    Inspired by British Cheers and Loud

    Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,

    They ran their ladders through a score

    Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;

    And took Peculiar Pains to Souse

    The Pictures up and down the House,

    Until Matilda's Aunt succeeded

    In showing them they were not needed;

    And even then she had to pay

    To get the Men to go away,

    It happened that a few Weeks later

    Her Aunt was off to the Theatre

    To see that Interesting Play

    The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.

    She had refused to take her Niece

    To hear this Entertaining Piece:

    A Deprivation Just and Wise

    To Punish her for Telling Lies.

    That Night a Fire did break out--

    You should have heard Matilda Shout!

    You should have heard her Scream and Bawl,

    And throw the window up and call

    To People passing in the Street--

    (The rapidly increasing Heat

    Encouraging her to obtain

    Their confidence) -- but all in vain!

    For every time she shouted 'Fire!'

    They only answered 'Little Liar!'

    And therefore when her Aunt returned,

    Matilda, and the House, were Burned.

    why?...

    to keep a pup fine, but just because you fancy breeding then NO

    i often think im harsh when people want to breed but you need to be %100 that you realy must.

    i would just buy another dog and dont add to the all ready flooded market in terriers.

    it also depends what people class as work, i class lawful underground terrier work as work.

    Alot dont, and think bunny chasing is

     

    sorry to be negative

     

    if i was breeding i would use a patterdale, the best lines are closely bred and kept within a family line, not out crossing to a differnt terrier type
