The Audacious Kitten.
Table of Contents
Hurray!
cried the kitten, Hurray!
As he merrily set the sails;
"I sail o’er the ocean to-day
To look at the Prince of Wales!"
O kitten! O kitten!
I cried,
Why tempt the angry gales?
I’m going,
the kitten replied,
"To look at the Prince of Wales!
"I know what it is to get wet,
I’ve tumbled full oft into pails
And nearly been drowned—and yet
I must look at the Prince of Wales!"
O kitten!
I cried, "the Deep
Is deeper than many pails!"
Said the kitten,"I shall not sleep
Till I’ve looked at the Prince of Wales!"
"O kitten! pause at the brink,
And think of the sad sea tales."
Ah, yes,
said the kitten, "but think,
Oh, think of the Prince of Wales!"
But, kitten!
I cried, dismayed,
"If you live through the angry gales
You know you will be afraid
To look at the Prince of Wales!"
Said the kitten, "No such thing!
Why should he make me wince?
If ‘a Cat may look at a King,’
A kitten may look at a Prince!"
The Artful Ant.
Table of Contents
Once on a time an artful Ant
Resolved to give a ball,
For tho’ in stature she was scant,
She was not what you’d call
A shy or bashful little Ant.
(She was not shy at all.)
She sent her invitations through
The forest far and wide,
To all the Birds and Beasts she knew,
And many more beside.
(You never know what you can do,
Said she, until you’ve tried.
)
Five score acceptances came in
Faster than she could read.
Said she:
