There’s a funny little kitten that tries to look like me, <br />But though I’m round and fluffy, he’s as flat as flat can be; <br />And when I try to mew to him he never makes a sound, <br />And when I jump into the air he never leaves the ground. <br />He has a way of growing, I don’t understand at all. <br />Sometimes he’s very little and sometimes he’s very tall. <br />And once when in the garden when the sun came up at dawn <br />He grew so big I think he stretched half-way across the lawn.<br /><br />Oliver Herford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shadow-kitten/
