THE KITTEN

2. The milk comes fresh and foaming,
Fresh from the good old cow;
And, after I have lapped it,
I frolic—you know how.
I'm petted by the children,
And the mistress of the house;
And sometimes, when I'm nimble,
I catch a little mouse.
3. But sometimes, when I'm naughty,
I climb upon the stand,
And eat the cake and chicken,
Or any thing at hand;
Ah! then they hide my saucer,
No matter if I mew;
And that's the way I'm punished
For naughty things I do.
