Our three cats is Maltese cats,
An` they`s two that`s white,--
An` bofe of `em`s _deef_--an` that`s
`Cause their _eyes_ ain`t right.--
Uncle say that _Huxley_ say
Eyes of _white_ Maltese--
When they don`t match thataway--
They`re deef as you please!
_Girls, they_ like our white cats best,
`Cause they`re white as snow,
Yes, an` look the stylishest--
But they`re deef, you know!
They don`t know their names, an` don`t
Hear us when we call
"Come in, Nick an` Finn!"--they won`t
Come fer us at all!
But our _other_ cat, _he_ knows
Mister Nick an` Finn,--
Mowg`s _his_ name,--an` when _he_ goes
Fer `em, they come in!
Mowgli`s _all_ his name--the same
Me an` Muvver took
Like the Wolf-Child`s _other_ name,
In "The Jungul Book."
I bet Mowg`s the smartest cat
In the world!--_He`s_ not
_White_, but mousy-plush, with that
Smoky gloss he`s got!
All`s got little bells to ring,
Round their neck; but none
Only Mowg _knows_ anything--
He`s the only one!
I ist `spect sometimes he hate
White cats` stupid ways:--
He won`t hardly `sociate
With `em, lots o` days!
Mowg wants in where _we_ air,--well,
He`ll ist take his paw
An` ist ring an` ring his bell
There till me er Ma
Er _some_body lets him in
Nen an` shuts the door.--
An`, when he wants out ag`in,
Nen he`ll ring some more.
Ort to hear our Katy tell!
She sleeps `way up-stairs;
An` last night she hear Mowg`s bell
Ringin` round _some_wheres...
Trees grows by her winder.--So,
She lean out an` see
Mowg up there, `way out, you know,
In the clingstone-tree;--
An`-sir! he ist _hint_ an` _ring_,--
Till she ketch an` plat
Them limbs;--nen he crawl an` spring
In where Katy`s at!
