The First Meow
The first meow the kitten did say
Was to German shepards in beds as they lay:
On hearths where cats lay a keeping their sleep
On a warm cotton cloth that was their sheet.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Sleepy is the kitten that meows.
It looked up and spotted a jar
Shining on was feast beyond them far:
And to the hearth it gave un-sate sight
And so it gave kitten both prey and plight.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Thirsty is the kitten that meows.
And by the sight of that same bright jar
The kitten came forth to decree afar;
To drink from that thing was it‘s content,
And to reach the jar for it’s lovely supplement.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow,
Impatient is the kitten that meows.
Kitten grew spry out of warm nest;
O'er shag carpet it took its unrest,
And there it did not stop or stray,
Right over the toys where dogs did play.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Quick is the kitten that meows
The kitten in that counter top sea,
Came reverently upon it‘s key,
And drank there with its achievance
Its warm soft milk and adamance.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow,
Happy is the kitten that meows
When the kitten had it’s reward
Returned with it’s small full belly restored,
That kitten returned again to bed sought,
Again to it’s loving mother’s soft spot
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow.
Sleepy is the kitten that meows.
