This is a rhyme about my kitten,

The prettiest kitten that ever purred.

I’ll write all about her that can be written,

And you may believe it, every word.

On each fore-paw is a soft white mitten;

On each hind-paw is a black fur boot;

And as for the rest, this dainty kitten

Wears an elegant silky striped suit.

All through the summer, this sprightly kitten

Brought me the spoils of her grace and skill:
