PUSSY-CAT AND QUEEN

“Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,
Where have you been?”
“I’ve been to London
To look at the Queen.”

“Pussy-cat, pussy-cat,
What did you there?”
“I frightened a little mouse
Under the chair.”


Illustration for the nursery rhyme, Pussy-cat and Queen, by Blanche Fisher Wright - from The Real Mother Goose

They found a bird’s nest with five eggs in,
They all took one, and left four in.
