AT DINNER.

Reading edition

My little kittens, here, you see, Are just as good as they can be; Not often do three children dine, Who are as well-behaved as mine. I've taught them how to be polite, To keep their bibs all clean and white, To say, "Mee-oo" for "If you please," And never to be cross, or tease. My darlings, Muff and Puff and Fluff, Stop always when they've had enough: They never come unwashed or late, They never crowd or push the plate. My care has not been vainly spent; That's why I purr with such content; For I'm the milk-white puss, you know, That sits close by—their mother—Snow.
