Naughty Kitten, No! I don't think so, do you? xxx

BUNS AND BABES WELCOME



oh dear naughty puss cat
for a shilling to pay a man at the door

and there was the knitting

and in it the kitten,

the end of the wool all caught up in its claws!


Carefully she unravelled it,

anxious not to make it skit

but intent as she was on her lip-biting task

she quite forgot the waiting milkman

and rap, rap, rap, he struck her knocker

Milkmanand up jumped Puss, his two eyes round.


In a flash he was out of the drawer

running as he hit the ground,

half a mile outside the pound,

Dozy Dora's unravelled mitten

trailing out behind him.

But at least, thought Dora,

he was safe and sound.

Many kittens
Putting out a bowl of milk

(after paying off the churlish merchant)

she found his little bell and rang it.

Presently the cat came back

with half a moiien wrapped around it.

Oh dear, said Dozy Dora

and put down the old tin mug of coconut milk

and Baileys she was drinking with a loud clatter.

Try as she might she just couldn't remember

who she had been making the mitten for


As it was they were for herself,

lovely cakesto try to stop her fingers aching

and to help her take hot cake

from out of the oven

(she was very good at baking).

She remembered eventually of course,

just after the main course,

her guests all now quite anxious for pudding.


Quickly she sent our the cat,

in his best frock and cap

to buy what he could for a shilling.

Imagine her stare when he flew down the stairs

with a tray of cup-cakes and eclairs.

"I was saving them for a rainy day," he purred.
"Is it raining then?" Dora asked the kitten,
"you might have told me earlier,

I might have remembered to bring in the washing."


Knitty kittyBut the clever kitten had already done it

and do you know what?

He had even finished knitting the mitten.

Dear old Dozy Dora and her helpful kitten!
