Kittens and Cats: A First Reader

by Eulalie Osgood Grover

I’LL SING YOU A SONG

I am a famous singer among kittens and cats. I sing in the kitten choir and in big concerts.

I wear a French bonnet when I sing.

My voice is very soft and very sweet.

I have come here to-day to sing for my Queen.

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r!

I’ll sing you a song.

Though not very long,

Yet I think it is as pretty as any.

Put your hand in your purse,

You’ll never be worse,

And give the sweet singer a penny.

THE SWEET SINGER
