SNAIL HUNTERS by MOTHER GOOSE

First Line: FOUR AND TWENTY TAILORS / WENT TO KILL A SNAIL
Last Line: OR SHE'LL KILL YOU ALL E'EN NOW.

FOUR and twenty tailors
Went to kill a snail,
The best man amongst them
Durst not touch her tail;
She put out her horns
Like a little Kyloe cow,
Run, tailors, run,
Or she'll kill you all e'en now.
