As if she’d been stung!
A-curlin’ right up on his shoulder an’ purrin’
The only live thing in the room that was stirrin’.
Oh I tell you that kitten was more than just—cat!
Love was usin’ that kitten,
I felt sure of that.
Back an’ forth she went playin’
Between those old twins
An’ the room still so quiet you might have heard pins
A-droppin’. I burst right out.
