Old Cat Care outside the Cottage (1918)
Reading edition
Green-eyed Care May prowl and glare And poke his snub, be-whiskered nose: But Door fits tight Against the Night: Through criss-cross cracks no evil goes. Window is small: No room at all For Worry and Money, his shoulder-bones: Chimney is wide, But Smoke’s inside And happy Smoke would smother his moans. Be-whiskered Care May prowl out there: But I never heard He caught the Blue Bird!
