KITTY DIDN'T MEAN TO.
Reading edition
Joanna scolds my kitty every day: I'm filled with grief. Just now to Mary Ann I heard her say, "That cat's a thief!" Poor kit! you did not wish for milk to-day, But wanted meat. You took a little bit from off the tray, And, with your feet, A glass of water, standing in the way, You tumbled down; And just for this you had to bear, all day, Joanna's frown. I think that Miss Joanna must be seen to; For, kitty, I am sure you didn't mean to.
AMANDA SHAW ELSEFFER.
