White cat sneaking up on a mouse.

KITTY AND MOUSIE.

  • Once there was a little kitty,
    White as the snow;
    In a barn he used to frolic,
    Long time ago.
  • In the barn a little mousie
    Ran to and fro;
    For she heard the little kitty,
    Long time ago.
  • Two black eyes had little kitty,
    Black as a crow;
    And they spied the little mousie,
    Long time ago.
  • Four soft paws had little kitty,
    Paws soft as snow;
    And they caught the little mousie,
    Long time ago.
  • Nine pearl teeth had little kitty,
    All in a row;
    And they bit the little mousie,
    Long time ago.
  • When the teeth bit little mousie,
    Mousie cried out "Oh!"
    But she slipped away from kitty,
    Long time ago.
