MY CAT AND l

d. + p
Just at dusk at my study door
Four little white feet stand on the
floor,
Four little white feet leap to my knee,
And a beaming face looks UP at me.
Oh, full many a love I've known,
But never heart so much my own,
Never a grateful soul like that,
And this Is the way love my cat.
Every day, through storm or shine,
This rapturous greeting still is mine
Every night on my knee she lies
Watching my face with her crystal
eyes. ~
Through fame we'll gained, or a lost
renown,
If stocks go up, or if stocks 60 down
Faithful forever as faith can be.
That is the way my cat loves me!
oh. my pussy, the world is round!
In it full many a friend I've found.
When was rich, they bent the knee,
And when was poor they frowned
on me.
But rich or poor you have loved me
still.
You share the good as you shared
the i'll.
So while we live and when we die
May we be together, my cat and !.
