Kitten's Garden of Verses — Education, A Thought, The Lion

[Illustration] Education When People think that Kittens play, It's really quite the other way.

For when they chase the Ball or Bobbin They learn to catch a Mouse or Robin.

The Kitten, deaf to Duty's call, Who will not chase the bounding ball, A hungry Cathood will enjoy, The scorn of Mouse and Bird and Boy.

[Illustration] A Thought It's very nice to think of how In every country lives a Cow To furnish milk with all her might For Kittens' comfort and delight.

[Illustration] The Lion The Lion does not move at all, Winter or Summer, Spring or Fall, He does not even stretch or yawn, But lies in silence on the lawn.

He must be lazy it is plain, For there is moss upon his mane, And what is more, a pair of Daws Have built a nest between his paws.

Oh, Lazy Lion, big and brown, This is no time for lying down!

The Sun is shining, can't you see?

Oh, please wake up and play with me.
