<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">Just a little fluffy ball of fur,</p>
<p class="t">Fawn and brown, and smooth and soft as silk;</p>
<p class="t0">Just two cunning little paws of tan,</p>
<p class="t">Velvet-gloved, to dabble in the milk.</p>
<p class="t0">Little paws to pat my tired face,</p>
<p class="t">Spring and play, and help me to forget.</p>
<p class="t0">Little, merry, restless, tireless feet—</p>
<p class="t">Just a little playful, happy pet.</p>
</div>
<div class="verse">
<p class="t0">Just a little yielding, graceful form,</p>
<p class="t">Cuddled softly down beside my cheek;</p>
<p class="t0">Just two little tender, fawn-like eyes,</p>
<p class="t">Looking all the love they cannot speak;</p>
<p class="t0">Just a little song of sweet content,</p>
<p class="t">Murmured soft and low beside my ear;</p>
<p class="t0">Just a little kitten I have loved—</p>
<p class="t">Not forgotten, and to memory dear.</p>
