And get in free to circuscs, ...

They always get slice,

To mako it very nice

And other kind of stuff

The biggest bugs will speak to them,
No natter how they dress
A shabby Cat is nothing if
You own printing press.
At Ladies' Fairs they're almost Rugged

That they will crack up everything
The ladies have to show.
Aud thus they get a blow out free
At every party feed;
The reason is because they write
And other people read.
