Simple Verse.15. A Pussy Cat Speaks

I am a cute little pussy cat I love to lie on my mama's cot I always chase the ugly rat That comes to gnaw at my master's hat I wear a striped coat of fur When I relax, my tail I stir You know it is milk, I prefer You can hear me sing a refrain- ‘purr'? On my face I have pointed whiskers But nothing as those of the tuskers Sharp are my ears, that I catch all whispers I have claws as piercing as pincers Everywhere I freely wander When I am at rest I always ponder When pulled down from the border I land on my legs, a real wonder By nature I am very cool But don't take me to be a fool Some see me as a ball of wool Fish often makes my mouth drool I am everybody's darling pet Those who see me give a gentle pat None can hate me, I shall bet At night I wander like a bat I have a pair of gleaming eyes They are of the shade of blue skies When I meow, each rat in terror flies Between cats and mice, there's no compromise
