The Adventures of Little Katy
LITTLE KATY wandered where
She espied a Grizzly Bear;
Noticing his savage wrath,
Katy kicked him from her path.
Little Katy, darling child,
Met a Leopard, fierce, and wild;
Ere the ugly creature sped off,
Little Katy bit his head off.
Katy, in her best blue cape,
Met a furious angry Ape;
But his rage received a check,—
Little Katy wrung his neck.
Little Katy met a Lion,—
From starvation he was dyin';
Though misfortune hadn't crushed him,
Katy stepped on him and squshed him.
Little Katy, near the Niger,
Met a big, bloodthirsty Tiger,
Tied a brick around his throat,
Went and drowned him in the, moat.
Little Katy had a fuss
With a Hippopotamus;
Though the beast was somewhat weighty,
He was soon knocked out by Katy.
Little Katy flushed with ire
As a hungry Wolf came nigh her.
So impertinent was he,
Katy chased him up a tree.
Little Katy, once, by chance,
Met a drove of Elephants.
Katy, fearing they might crowd her,
Scattered 'round some Persian powder.
