Penny and I made some cute plushie kitties. Introducing "Pusheen Kitty" and ~Bunny
The White Kitten
My little white kitten's asleep on my knee;
As white as the snow or the lilies is she;
She wakes up with a purr When I stroke her soft fur;
Was there ever another white kitten like her?
My little white kitten now wants to go out
And frolic, with no one to watch her
"Little kitten," I say,
"Just an hour you may may stay,
And be careful in choosing your places to play."
But night has come down, when I hear a loud mew;
I open the door, and my kitten comes through;
My white kitten! ah me!
Can it really be she-
This ill-looking, beggarlike cat that I see?
What ugly, gray streaks on her side and her back!
Her nose, noce as pink as a rosebud, is black!
Oh, I very well know,
Though she does not say so,
She has been where white kittens ought never to go.
If little good children intend to do right,
If little white kittens would keep themselves white,
It is needful that they
Should this counsel obey,
And be careful in choosing their places to play.
