The clock struck one, and down he run,
And we gobbled him up at last.
A NURSE’S TALE
I’m the nurse who takes care of kittens and cats when they are sick.
Sometimes they eat too much and have the stomach-ache.
Sometimes they fall down stairs and bump their heads.
Sometimes they get their tails bitten by bad dogs.
Then their mothers send for me and I take care of them until they are well.
