The Pet's Christmas Carol
"Tweet-tweet-tweet!" sang the canary,
Which meant that he was very merry,
Because his little mistress Nell,
On Christmas eve had fed him well.
"Bow-wow-wow!" sang the gay young pup,
"My master's gone away to sup,
But though he won't be here for tea,
Just see the meal he left for me!"
"Mew-mew-mew!" sang the mamma cat,
"Such milk as this will make me fat,
And oh, I feel so very gay
This cold and frosty Christmas day."
Each mamma cow sang "Moo-moo-moo!"
And gentle dove sang "Coo-coo-coo!"
And every horse and sheep and pig,
And duck and chicken, small and big,
A carol sang on Christmas eve,
Because a FEAST each did receive.
