And q splendid concert he had planned
Tho grandsst cats within miles were

A pretty and touching lullaby.
Which made old Mr.. Tortoiseshell cry.
Then Mr.. Smut sang a comic song
A Cat Land ballad which charmed the
throng,
So funny II was. and not too long.
But the greatest charm OF the evening lay
In the unaffected and simple way
In which three kittens acted play.
The audience clapped their hands so loud;
They wagged their tails. and. with faces
proud,
The kittens, In acknowledgement. bowed
Next day, the whole OF Cat-country rung
With praise as to how the cats had sung;
And the kittens play was on every
tongue!
