The Kitten!
She hates a doll and girlish toys,
She's fond of whips, and dogs, and boys,
For, truth to tell, she finds no joys
In crewel-work or tatting:
But see how smiling is her face,
Indeed, a pretty gleeful Grace—
When batting!
She bowls with marvellous success,
And keeps her wicket, I confess—
