You are a naughty pussy-cat;
I think it right to mention that
For all who see your picture here--
'Twas you who broke my bunny dear.
An hour ago, as you can tell,
I left him here, alive and well;
And now he's dead, and, what is more
You've broke his leg, I'm pretty sure.
For you, my puss, I'll never care,
No--never, never, never--there!
And you are in disgrace, you know,
And in the corner you must go.
What, crying? Then I must cry too,
And I can't bear to punish you;
Perhaps you've only stunned his head.
And though I'm sure you broke his leg,
It may be mended with a peg;
And though he's very, very funny,
My bunny's not a real bunny;
And I'll forgive and tell you that
You are my precious pussy-cat.
