+
+ A little Girl asked some Kittens to tea
+ To meet some Dolls from France;
+ And the Mother came, too, to enjoy a view
+ And afterwards play for the dance.
+ But the Kittens were rude & grabbed their food
+ And treated the Dolls with jeers;
+ Which caused the Mother an aching heart
+ And seven or eight large tears.

+ Sing, sing! What shall we sing?
+ The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ They were happy and did laugh
+ When their friend, the big Giraffe,
+ Tried his speed along the highway with the cars.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ But their joy was turned to grief
+ When their charger bit a leaf
+ That was growing in a region near the stars.

+
+ Cried a cat to his wife, "See, my dear,
+ The superlative Circus is here!
+ With the children we'll go,--'tis our duty, you know,
+ Their young minds to enlighten and cheer."
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: A CASE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY]
+
+ Said a Cat to his sons, "I should deem
+ This blithe Picture-Book Boy carried cream."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ "Let us give him a scare,
+ So he'll leave it right there."
+
+ This will show the success of the scheme.

+ THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PENNY,
+ AND COULDN'T BORROW ANY,
+ AND THEY OWED EXACTLY HALF A DIME FOR COAL;

+ A Raging, Roaring Lion, of a Lamb-devouring kind,

+ He propelled a Lamb for miles,
+ And he wed a woolly Spinster for a wife.

+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: The Genial Grimalkin]
+
+ There was an old Cat named Macduff
+ Who could joke till you cried, "Hold, enough!"
+ His Wife and his Child so persistently smiled
+ That their cheeks got a permanent puff.

+ "OH, dear Papa!" three children cried.
+ "You promised don't you know?
+ That next when you should take a ride
+ All three of us should go."
+ "I DID," that father said. "You know
+ I never speak at random.
+ So get your roller-skates. We'll go
+ Off in a tearing tandem!"

+ A Lion emerged from his lair
+ For a short summer cut to his hair.
+ But the Barber he wept;
+ While his customers slept
+ As they waited their turn in the chair.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+ When the Barber at last shut his shop,
+ From the clouds a Bald Eagle did drop,
+ To purchase a lotion,
+ A brush, or some "notion"
+ To make the hair grow on his top.

+ "'T is a perfect picnic day!" the little dog did say,
+ As he found his friends all ready for the train,
+ "Still, I thought 't would ease your mind
+ Not to leave this thing behind,--
+ For you know a bonnet suffers so from rain."

+ A Tam o' Shanter Dog
+ And a plaintive piping Frog,
+ With a Cat whose one extravagance was clothes,
+ Went to see a Bounding Bug
+ Dance a jig upon a rug,
+ While a Beetle balanced bottles on his nose.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: The Donkey and his Company.]
+
+A desultory Dog once met a discontented Donkey who could form no
+plans for his summer vacation. "Why not go with me to Bayreuth?"
+said the Dog. "We'll hear some music there, besides meeting all
+our friends." "Agreed," cried the Donkey; "'t is a happy thought."
+And they shook hands on it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+On the way they met a fashionable Cat, and also a proud and
+sensitive young Fowl, who both declared they had long desired to
+go to Bayreuth. And so the four walked on in company.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+About noon the second day they suddenly stopped to listen, for
+they heard distant music. "That must be the ending of an overture,"
+said the Dog. "I should judge by the sound we were now about three
+miles from the Opera House."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Arriving at the Opera House, they found all the seats were sold,
+and that they could gain no admittance; and this so disappointed
+the sensitive Fowl that the others kindly assisted him to look in
+at an upper window.
+
+The music which poured from the building now so stirred them that
+they simultaneously burst into song.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After the opera they all went to the Inn, where they had an excellent
+dinner, and then spent the evening in happy festivity.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Their musical sensibilities were now so quickened that they resolved
+to give a concert themselves, which was a great success and aroused
+immense enthusiasm.

+
+ They strolled at sunset down the beach and perched upon some piles,
+ And sang about the Summer Sea--which then was out for miles.
+ By eight o'clock the Summer Sea was flowing towards the shore,
+ And then, I think, they all got down and sang of it no more.

+ And she did tell it to the Cat,
+ And he smiled somewhat, too.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+ https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
