“Well, of course, it isn’t a real rhyme,” said Kitty, looking thoughtful; “it’s just a sort of a joke rhyme. That’s why I like it so much. Now, Rosy Posy, I’ll read yours.”

“Ess, Kitty; wead it out loud to me.”

“I want my Rosy Posy,

Yes, I do!

I want to cuddle cosy

Just with you.

I want my little girlie,

Pink and white;

Hair so soft and curly,

Eyes so bright.
