I am a little kitty, my name is Tabby Grey; My home is in the country, just twenty miles away. My eyes are bright as hazel, my fur as soft as silk; I'm fed each night and morning, with a saucer full of milk. The milk comes fresh and foaming, right from the good old cow, And after I have lapped it, I frolic, you know how; I'm petted by the children, the mistress of the house, And sometimes, when I'm nimble, I catch a little mouse. And sometimes, when I'm naughty, I climb upon the stand, And eat the cake, or chicken, or anything at hand; Ah! then they take my saucer, no matter how I mew, And that's the way I'm punished, for the naughty things I do. |
