Pretty Kitty - Nursery Rhyme

Pretty kitty, I’ve been gone all day.
Did you miss me while I was away?
Come to me, sweet kitty. We can play.
Here are strings to swipe at as they sway!

Pretty kitty, come without delay.
Sit beside me in your purring way.
How I wish that you would never stray.
Always near me I’d like you to stay.

Kittens are cute, but grow up to display their affection for you by placing a dead bird at your feet . . Aloha!

hell,I'd settle for that. Right now, I get maybe five min, a day from each one letting me pet them.

Brings back many memories, when growing up on the farm, so many 'Kitties' loved them all. Thanks, Andrea.
