She sights a Bird -- she chuckles --

 She sights a Bird -- she chuckles --
She flattens -- then she crawls --
She runs without the look of feet --
Her eyes increase to Balls --

Her Jaws stir -- twitching -- hungry --
Her Teeth can hardly stand --
She leaps, but Robin leaped the first --
Ah, Pussy, of the Sand,

The Hopes so juicy ripening --
You almost bathed your Tongue --
When Bliss disclosed a hundred Toes --
And fled with every one --
