PRUDENT PUSS.

PRUDENT PUSS.

Bold Joe and Jim, and terrier Tim,Went out to chase their prey;They chased her hard across the yard,And then she got away.The ducks in vain expressed disdainOf Pussy’s coward flight;They were three to one, so she chose to run,And I think she did quite right.The dogs outside implored, defied;Puss answered not a word;When they’d gone in despair, she came out of her lair,And laughed in her sleeve and purred.

Bold Joe and Jim, and terrier Tim,

Went out to chase their prey;

They chased her hard across the yard,

And then she got away.

The ducks in vain expressed disdainOf Pussy’s coward flight;They were three to one, so she chose to run,And I think she did quite right.

The ducks in vain expressed disdain

Of Pussy’s coward flight;

They were three to one, so she chose to run,

And I think she did quite right.

The dogs outside implored, defied;Puss answered not a word;When they’d gone in despair, she came out of her lair,And laughed in her sleeve and purred.

The dogs outside implored, defied;

Puss answered not a word;

When they’d gone in despair, she came out of her lair,

And laughed in her sleeve and purred.
