Little Ducks.
A SAD TALE.
WHO’S afraid of a cat?” said he;
“I’m not afraid of a cat.”
He was a bird who sat on a rail,
With five other birds, and this was his tale.
“I’m not afraid of a cat.”
“I might be afraid if I were a mouse,
Or even if I were a rat:
But as I’m a bird
I give you my word
I’m not afraid of a cat.”
A cat and her kits came down on the scene,
Five birds flew over the rail;
Our hero was caught
As quick as a thought,
And didn’t he alter his tale!
