By Unknown

Little Robin Redbreast sat upon a tree, Up went Pussy cat, and down went he; Down came Pussy cat, and away Robin ran; Says little Robin Redbreast, "Catch me if you can." Little Robin Redbreast jump'd upon a wall, Pussy cat jump'd after him, and almost got a fall, Little Robin chirp'd and sang, and what did Pussy say? Pussy cat said "Mew," and Robin jump'd away.
