A Thanksgiving Fable
It was a hungry pussy cat,
upon Thanksgiving
morn,
And she watched a thankful little mouse,
that ate an
ear of corn.
"If I ate that thankful little mouse,
how thankful
he should be,
When he has made a meal himself,
to make a meal for me!
"Then with his thanks for having fed,
and his thanks
for feeding me,
With all his thankfulness inside,
how thankful I shall
be!"
Thus mused the hungry pussy cat,
upon Thanksgiving Day;
But the little mouse had overheard
and declined (with
thanks) to stay.
