ONE CAT AND TWO PIGS.

A poor little kitty turned out by its mother, Without any sister, without any brother, Was very unhappy, Was very unhappy; Oh, very unhappy indeed! She couldn't find any companions to stay with; She couldn't find any companions to play with; And so she was lonely, Oh! ever so lonely; Oh, yes! she was lonely indeed. One morning she noticed two little pigs running Along by the house; they were pretty and cunning, And it made little kitty Feel bad—what a pity!— A very great pity indeed. She made their acquaintance, and then in clear weather The three funny playmates would frolic together, And kitty was happy, No doubt she was happy; Oh, yes! very happy indeed. The piggies would drink up the milk that was given To kitty, who oft from the basin was driven; For they were quite greedy, Yes, rather too greedy; Oh, yes! very greedy indeed.

And, when they had corn, how the piggies would chew it! While kitty looked on, wondering how they could do it: 'Twas queer that she couldn't, Quite strange that she couldn't; She'd tried—but she couldn't indeed! At night, when the piggies in slumber were dozing, Miss Kitty curled up on their backs was reposing, And all were quite happy, Remarkably happy; Oh, yes! very happy indeed.
