Kittens large and Kittens small, <br />Prowling on the Back Yard Wall, <br />Though your fur be rough and few, <br />I should like to play with you. <br />Though you roam the dangerous street, <br />And have curious things to eat, <br />Though you sleep in barn or loft, <br />With no cushions warm and soft, <br />Though you have to stay out-doors <br />When it’s cold or when it pours, <br />Though your fur is all askew— <br />How I’d like to play with you!<br /><br />Oliver Herford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/foreign-kittens/
