Show t'( it I The Cat's Thanks, jf I giving Soliloquy I'm Just about tired of waiting For my Thanksgiving treat; I see (hem about the table. And they eat. and eat, and eat. They do not think of poor pussy, Who has had ao long to wait; Why doesn't some one remember That it's growing very late. And haven't ! srnelt that turkey Blnce Into the oven It went? If they'd give Just one drumstick. Why, then I'd be content. Iiut no, they sit there talking And Isughlng aloud with glee; I wish that some one among them Would throw down a bone to me. There's that greedy little Teddy. Three times he's passed his plate; And that turkey s growing smaller At a very rapid rate. And see Jack's face! Tls shining With gravy up to his eyes. I wonder they take no notice Wheu they bear my hungry cries. Oh, dear! There's dessert to follow, The puddings and pumpkin pies And the frulta and nuts and candy, And oh. how fast times flies! Ah. there's gentle little Kthel. She's so loving and so kind. She's bringing me some turkey tones And a grateful cat she ll find. FRANK II. SWtXT. THANKSGIVING I thank thee.

I thank thee for the body's health; for friends; The dally tread thy kindly bounty sends; For all the gruHlly things that are or wet; Put most of all I thank thee. Life, for Her! For Her 1 count of good thine u'ter store That aurfelts avarice. Thou hat no more. No boon to win one covert sigh from me When I have that whose giving txggars thee. |
