Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a pussycat
And very small is she
She has a little pencil
And a notebook on her knee

She’s made a list of all the things
She’d like to do today
So with her little pencil wrote
‘First of all comes play’

Number two — ‘Now let me think
Oh yes, it’s pester Maybelle’
And three — ‘it’s pester her again
and chase her round the table’

And then she’ll maybe take a break
For milk and meat and pats
Then back to work with Number Four
‘I’ll get those pesky rats!’
