I Like Little Pussy

  I like little Pussy,

    Her coat is so warm;

  And if I don't hurt her

    She'll do me no harm.

  So I'll not pull her tail,

    Nor drive her away,

  But Pussy and I

    Very gently will play;

  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 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 bear

    To be worried or teased.
