C was Papa's gray Cat,
Who caught a squeaky Mouse;
She pulled him by his twirly tail
All about the house.
D was Papa's white Duck,
Who had a curly tail;
One day it ate a great fat frog,
Besides a leetle snail.
E was a little Egg,
Upon the breakfast table;
Papa came in and ate it up
As fast as he was able.
F was a little Fish.
Cook in the river took it
Papa said, "Cook! Cook! bring a dish!
And, Cook! be quick and cook it!"
G was Papa's new Gun;
He put it in a box;
And then he went and bought a bun,
And walked about the Docks.
H was Papa's new Hat;
He wore it on his head;
Outside it was completely black,
But inside it was red.
