(Speaking of bated breath (below): the other day I was looking at amusing word-ish things just for the fun of it, and came across an article in which someone was correcting someone else's saying "baited breath" in favor of "bated breath," but then again remarking on how much more amusing the following is--if you consider the proper spelling "bated." Yes, this is an instance where my punstership comes to full front. The poem is called The Cruel Clever Cat, and it escapes my mind as to the author's particular name. Thomas, or something.)

Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.

Actual usage of term "bated breath" found in post below, which was published roughly 30 seconds ago, but it didn't seem to work well with the randomness of this thing. Incongruous randomships, ya might say.
