9 Lively Cat Tales

         Cat Bath

     Ever give your cat a bath?

     My, cats love it so!

     We gave our kitty one today,

     So you see we know.

     Got him wrestled in the tub,

     Washed him in warm water,

     Made him feel so clean and good

     As any kitty oughter.

     Soaped him up without a scratch,

     Just four hands required;

     Held him firmly, rinsed him off,

     Just what he desired.

     Finally done, we toweled him down.

     He helped by shaking, too.

     So go and bathe your cat today;

     He’ll love it, we promise you!

The Wildebeest and a Bunch of Crock

Never Knew a Gnu

  I never knew a gnu, did you?

  Nor very well a lion,

  But I can tell you of the two

  Which one to keep an eye on.

Letter to a Dandelion

  Welcome to Our Yard

        and Garden

     Read with pleasure

     At your leisure

     About our yard and

     Lovely garden

     Through each season

     Warm to freezin’:

     Springtime growing,

     Summer mowing,

     Fall leaves blowing,

     Winter snowing,

     Watching nature

      Do her thing,

     All year round

     And back to spring!
