The Two Gray Kits
The Two Gray Kits is a version of the rhyme, Tom a Lin and His Wife and His Wife's Mother.
The Two Gray Kits
Nursery Rhyme
The two gray kits,
And the gray kits' mother,
All went over
The bridge together.
The bridge broke down,
They all fell in;
"May the rats go with you,"
Says Tom Bolin.
Notes
In the version from The Little Mother Goose (1912), illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith, the last two lines are:
May the rats go with you,
Says Tom Robin.
