JIM

Want to see me, hey, old chap?
Want to curl UP in my lap,
Do yer Jim?
See him sit and purr and blink,
Don't yer bet he knows think
Lots of him?
Little kitten, nothn' mora
When we found him at the door,
In the cold;
And the baby half undressed
Picked him up, and he was jest
All she'd hold.
Put him up for me to see.
And she says, SO cute says she.
'Babys cat
And we never had the heart,
For to keep the two apart
After that
Scents If I must hear the beat
OF her toddlin little feet,
Round about:
Seem to see her tucked in bed,
With the Kittens furry head
Peekin' out.
SEEMS If could hear her say,
In the cunnin' baby way
That she had
Say dood night to Jimmie, do;
Coz II 90 forfeited to
He'd feel bad"
Miss her dreadful, don't We boy?
Day don't seem to bring no joy
With the dawn;
Looks s If night was everywhere,
But there's glory over there
Where's she gone.
Seems as il my heart would break,
But love yer for her sake,
Don't I, Jim?
See him sit and purr and blink:
Don't yer bet he knows think
Lots Of him?
