THREE little kittens They lost their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, We sadly fear Our mittens we have lost. What! lost your mittens, You naughty kittens! Then you shall have no pie. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow. No, you shall have no pie. The three little kittens They found their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother dear, See here, see here, Our mittens we have found. Put on your mittens, You silly kittens, And you shall have some pie. Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r, Oh, let us have some pie. The three little kittens Put on their mittens And soon ate up the pie; Oh, mother dear, We greatly fear Our mittens we have soiled. What! soiled your mittens, You naughty kittens! Then they began to sigh, Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, Then they began to sigh. The three little kittens They washed their mittens, And hung them out to dry; Oh! mother dear, Do you not hear, Our mittens we have washed. What! washed your mittens, Then you're good kittens, But I smell a rat close by. Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, We smell a rat close by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DEDICATION by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE FUGITIVE by LAWRENCE ALMA-TADEMA WRITTEN IN BUTLER'S SERMONS by MATTHEW ARNOLD MEMORY'S VISIT by DEAN ALETTA BAILLIE RECIPROCAL KINDNESS THE PRIMARY LAW OF NATURE by VINCENT BOURNE RISUS DEI by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN |
