CANDY CATS AND CHOCOLATEMICE
Afterthe Old Red Rooster had repaired the Sonora, he went back to the barn to dust off the cobwebs. But, oh, dear me! All of a sudden, he brushed down a little black spider who had her web in the northeast corner.
“You’re a very mean rooster to pull down my web,For now I must spin me another,If things must be clean you’ve no right to be mean,I’ve a notion to tell your good mother.”
“You’re a very mean rooster to pull down my web,For now I must spin me another,If things must be clean you’ve no right to be mean,I’ve a notion to tell your good mother.”
“You’re a very mean rooster to pull down my web,For now I must spin me another,If things must be clean you’ve no right to be mean,I’ve a notion to tell your good mother.”
“You’re a very mean rooster to pull down my web,
For now I must spin me another,
If things must be clean you’ve no right to be mean,
I’ve a notion to tell your good mother.”
“Please don’t,” begged the Old Red Rooster. “She’s a very old hen and it might worry her so she couldn’t lay an egg.”
Just then Little Jack Rabbit and Uncle John Hare drove up in the Bunnymobile, sothe little black spider began to spin a new web and the Old Red Rooster commenced to dust off the top of the buggy.
“Well, here we are, home again,” said the old gentleman rabbit, and he took off his old wedding stovepipe hat and wiped his forehead with his blue silk polkadot handkerchief, and after that he looked at his gold watch and chain and fixed the diamond horseshoe pin in his red necktie. You see, there was a little old broken mirror which he kept in the barn so that in case his stovepipe hat wasn’t on straight he could fix it before going out automobiling.
As soon as the Bunnymobile was safe in the garage he and Little Jack Rabbit went into the house and wound up the graphophone. And this is the song it sang:
“The candy cat ate a chocolate mouse,O dearie, dearie me.And the little toy dog chased the little toy cat,Till she climbed up a cinnamon tree.”
“The candy cat ate a chocolate mouse,O dearie, dearie me.And the little toy dog chased the little toy cat,Till she climbed up a cinnamon tree.”
“The candy cat ate a chocolate mouse,O dearie, dearie me.And the little toy dog chased the little toy cat,Till she climbed up a cinnamon tree.”
“The candy cat ate a chocolate mouse,
O dearie, dearie me.
And the little toy dog chased the little toy cat,
Till she climbed up a cinnamon tree.”
Dear, dear me! Here we are at the end of the book. I wonder why the pages turn over so quickly; perhaps it is because Little Jack Rabbit hops so fast. But never mind, dear little reader, I am going to tell you some more about this little bunny boy in another book entitled “Little Jack Rabbit and Hungry Hawk.”
Yours for a story,
David Cory,
The Jack Rabbit Man.
