You should have seen the Farmer Boy!
His eyes were all bulged out with joy.
But the Bossy-calf didn’t see, alas!
He was out in the meadow, eating grass.
THE LITTLE BROWN DOG AND THE LITTLE WHITE CAT
The Little Brown Dog had a little cold nose,
O me, O my!
The Little White Cat had pins in her toes,
O me, O my!
The Little Brown Dog poked his little cold nose
Too near the pins in the little Cat’s toes!
Said the Dog, “Woo, ow!” Said the Cat, “Meouw!”
O me, O my! O me, O my!
Said the Little White Cat, “I did not know,
O me, O my!
That my sharp little pins could hurt you so.
It makes me sigh!”
Said the Little Brown Dog, “If you didn’t know,
That makes it well, so let it go.”
Laughed the Dog, “Bow-wow!” Laughed the Cat, “Meouw!”
O me, O my! O me, O my!
Said the Little Brown Dog to the Little White Cat,
“O me, O my!
There’s a bowl of cream on the kitchen mat.
O me, O my!”
They ate the cream, and after that,
The best of friends were the Dog and Cat,
And the Cat sings, “Meouw!” and the Dog, “Bow-wow!”
O me, O my! O me, O my!
