SEE THE NAUGHTY KITTEN.

See the naughty kitten,
Playing with the knittin';
How she rolls the ball about?
How she pulls the stitches out?
Naughty, naughty kitten.

Will you run and catch her?
Will you try to teach her?
Bring the pretty little book,
See if in it she will look?
Do not let her scratch you.

What a naughty pussy,
All the while so dosy,
Pussy only mew'd and purr'd,
Would not read a single word,
Naughty, naughty pussy.

Kittens know but little,
Knitting yarn is brittle,
Children should not do so ill,
They should learn to read and spell—
Not be full of prattle.
