wonder  claw eye sharp harm must hear

I like little pussy

her coat is so warm,

And if I don't hurt her,

She'll do me no harm.

Let me see your soft paws, kitty.

Your claws are sharp.

You can pull them in or put them out.

You keep them in when you creep up near a mouse.

No wonder he does not hear you come. Out comeyour sharp claws when you spring on him.

I wonder how you see the mice at night!

You can see as well in the night as in the day.

I think you must have very queer eyes.
