An Ode to a Cat

AA hungry Cat—
A foolish Rat.
  A lively Run—
  Exciting Fun.

Ferocious Jaws—
Remorseless Claws.
  A dying Squeal—
  A hearty Meal.

Alas, poor Rat!
O happy Cat!

Look Out! Boogies!

D Did you ever see a Bugaboo? Ask Mamma to Blow out the Light to-night after you Go to Bed and Let you See a Bugaboo? It has a Big Voice like a Bear, and its Claws are as long as a Knife. It will Bite Good Little Children and Run off with them to the Cold Dark Woods where they can Never see Mamma any More. If you are Good, Beware of Bugaboos.
