The Kit-Tens’ Bath
One day when Lil-lie saw her cat
Sit down and lick a kit-ten’s face;
“No, puss,” said she, “don’t wash like that—
My bath will be the pro-per place.
“I’ll show you how to wash them, puss.”
So in she dipped them one by one;
Poor Min-nie mewed and made a fuss,
But Lil-lie only thought it fun.
Puss feared her lit-tle kits would drown,
And did her best to get them out;
While Lil-lie dipped them up and down,
And splashed the wa-ter all a-bout.
Till nurse came up and saw the mess,
Took out the kit-tens, and instead
Made thought-less Lil-lie quite un-dress,
And have her bath and go to bed.
