KITTY’S LESSON.

LET’S play school, kitty, you and I, Right here in papa’s study; You can sit there in papa’s chair, If your feet aren’t muddy. First, you must say your morning prayers, Now bow your head, like I do. And now we’ll sing the little song, “Good morning, sunshine to you.” Of course, you must learn how to write, Then you can write to Rover, A is like this, and B like that, Oh, dear! the ink’s tipped over! We’ll have the reading-lesson next, Out of this book so pretty. I’ll read you ’bout a little mouse— You’ve torn the book,—bad kitty! You want to play just all the time, You lazy little sinner! There goes the bell now, run away, I guess it’s time for dinner!
