MY KITTY

Here there is no plot. Instead I have attempted to enumerate the
associations which cluster around a kitten, and present them in a
patterned form.

MY KITTY

Meow, meow!
Kitty's eyes, two eyes, yellow eyes, shiny bright eyes.
Meow, meow!
Kitty's pointed ears, pink on the inside, fur on the outside.
Meow, meow!
Kitty's mouth, little white teeth and whiskers long.
Meow, meow!
Kitty's fur, soft to stroke like this, like this.

Prrrr, prrrr,
Little fur ball cuddled close to the warm, warm fire.
Prrrr, prrrr,
Little padded feet pattering soft to get her milk.
Prrrr, prrrr,
Little pink tongue, lapping up the milk from her own little dish.
Prrrr, prrrr,
Warm little, round little, happy little kitten snuggled in my arms.

Pssst, pssst!
Stiff little kitten, spitting at a dog.
Pssst, pssst!
Hair standing up on her humped-up back.
Pssst, pssst!
Sharp white teeth, sharp, sharp, claws.
Pssst, pssst!
Ready to jump and to bite and to scratch.

Kitty, kitty, kitty,
You funny little cat,
I never know whether you'll purr or spit
You funny little cat!

pick, peck, until he made a little hole in the shell. Then he stuck his
bill through the hole and wiggled it until the shell cracked and he
could get his head through. Then he wiggled it a little more and the
shell broke and he could get his foot out. And then the shell broke
right in two.

As soon as the little chicken was out he went scritch, scratch, with his

water in his bill; then he held his head up in the air while the water
ran down his throat. The mother hen went:

"Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck,"

and the little chicken ran to her calling:

"Cheep, cheep, cheep."

Then he heard a funny little noise. He looked around and w
