Why doth a pussy cat prefer, When dozing, drowsy, on the sill, To purr and purr and purr and purr Instead of merely keeping still? With nodding head and folded paws, She keeps it up without a cause.

'Twould seem more restful, Goodness knows! When strolling 'neath the chairs or bed, She lets it bump above her head.
