For the Children.
The Story of Sniff.
Series Two.
1
Sniff sleeping soundly on the mat,
Of a sudden wakes to see a cat
2
Walking across the garden lawn;
At sight of which, Sniff shorts and gawns.
3
Then sets, making one mighty spring-
Swift as bird upon the wing-
4
But, meantime, Pussy — quicker she-
Has disappeared in branch of tree.
5
And there she sits, whilst down below
Sniff growls like Polar Bear in Snow.
6
Angry he is and upwords glares
As Pussy moves not-only stares
7
And stares Sniff out of countenance,
Till he enraged, begins to dance.
8
Then Pater comes with his big stick-
“Kennel!” he shouts, “Kennel, Sniff, quick!”
