It's her shoes. She hasn't any to wear to the party

By Margaret johnson

Wee Kitty was eating her cake one day,
And the sugary crumbs were falling,
When shy little mouse crept out of crack,
With his tail so long and his eyes SO black,
For he heard those crumbs a-calling!
Then Kitty looked down and the mouse
looked up
And oh, but they stood a-staringl
For this is the way,-as big as a house,
That Kittykins looked to the shy little mouse
With her terrible eyes a-glaring
And--if we could see as we re seen, my
dears,
1t would save us a world of pity -
For this is the way, with his eyes so black
And his tail so long, alas and alack
That the little mouse looked to Kitty!
