A KITTEN RHYME 117 



Soft and silky 



Is her fur. 

 If you stroke it 



She will purr. 



Often when my 



Grandma knits, 

 Close beside her 



Kitty sits. 



Watching, watching 



Grandma's ball, 

 Wishing she would 



Let it fall. 



When it does drop 



Oh! the fun! 

 You should see 



How Dot can run! 



Dot has never 



Caught a rat. 

 She's too little 



Yet for that. 



She is only 



Good at play, 

 But she'll catch 



The rats some day.
