Kitten's Garden of Verses — The Milk Jug, Happy Thought, Kitten's Night Thought
The Milk Jug The Gentle Milk Jug blue and white I love with all my soul, She pours herself with all her might To fill my breakfast bowl.
All day she sits upon the shelf, She does not jump or climb-- She only waits to pour herself When 'tis my supper-time.
And when the Jug is empty quite, I shall not mew in vain, The Friendly Cow, all red and white, Will fill her up again.
[Illustration] Happy Thought The world is so full of a number of Mice I'm sure that we all should be happy and nice.
[Illustration] Kitten's Night Thought When Human Folk put out the light, And think they've made it dark as night, A Pussy Cat sees every bit As well as when the lights are lit.
When Human Folk have gone upstairs, And shed their skins and said their prayers, And there is no one to annoy, Then Pussy may her life enjoy.
No Human hands to pinch or slap, Or rub her fur against the nap, Or throw cold water from a pail, Or make a handle of her tail.
And so you will not think it wrong When she can play the whole night long, With no one to disturb her play, That Pussy goes to bed by day.
