The Cat Extincted The Canary
(Written for Josephine Greene, Evansville, Ind.)
"Josephine," asked the teacher, "can you tell to me
Any bird that's now extinct, but used on earth to be?"
"Oh, yes, Miss Jane," said Josephine, "our sweet canary, Jim,
Because the naughty pussy cat she quite extincted him."
