Little Pussy I love little Pussy, Her coat is so warm; And if I don't tease her, She'll do me no harm. I'll not pull her tail, Nor drive her away, But Pussy and I Very gently will play. She'll be gentle with me, If I'm gentle with her, And if I speak kindly, I know she will purr. She shall sit by my side, And I'll give her some food And Pussy will love me Because I am good. It's true, if I tease her, Her claws she will show; But Pussy knows well That I never do so. |

Puss and the Crab "I wonder," says puss, "If a thing like that Would presume to bite A respectable cat? 'Tis the queerest thing That ever I saw; I'll hit it a slap With my strong forepaw. No! No! On the whole I had better not; But what curious claws The creature has got! I'll just step up And quietly ask it How it got out Of that market-basket. I'll play with the animal, Just to see If it wants to do Any harm to me. No! I thank I had better Get out of its way, And I surely am safer Not even to play. For I'll get into trouble, And horribly wail, If that thing with the claws Takes a grip on my tail." Rev. A. Taylor |
