[Illustration: {A CAT PUSHES A PRAM CONTAINING ANOTHER CAT.}]
Five little pussies
Sitting down to tea;
Pretty little pussies,
Happy as can be!
Three little pussies,
All in a row,
Ranged on the table,
Two down below.
Five little pussies,
Dressed all in silk,
Waiting for the sugar,
Waiting for the milk.
Dear little pussies,
If you would thrive,
Breakfast at nine o'clock,
Take tea at five.
