Kitty in the Basket
“Where is my little basket gone?”Said Charlie boy one day;“I guess some little boy or girlHas taken it away.”
“And Kitty too, I can’t find her;O, dear! what shall I do?I wish I could my basket find,And little Kitty too.”
“I’ll go to mother’s room and look;Perhaps she may be there,For Kitty loves to take a napIn mother’s easy chair.”
“O mother! mother! come and look!See what a little heap!My Kitty’s in the basket here,All cuddled down to sleep.”
He took the basket carefully,And brought it in a minute,And showed it to his mother dear,With little Kitty in it.
