| She shall sit by my side, and I'll give her some food;
And she'll love me because I am gentle and good.
I'll pat little pussy and then she will purr,
And thus show her my thanks for my kindness to her. |
I'll not pinch her ears, nor tread on her paw,
Lest I should provoke her to use her sharp claw;
I never will vex her, nor make her displeased,
For pussy can't stand to be worried or teased. |
