1- Pussy saw a mutton bone
    Lying ona plate alone.
    Fido saw the bone.  Said he-
    "That's the very bone for me'"
    Jacky saw, and Jacky heard,
    Jacky never said a word.

2- Pussy heard a noise behind-
    Fled with fleet feet like the wind.
    Fido followed her-the bone
    Thus once more was left alone.
    Jacky laughed- discreet yet gay ;
    Jacky took the bone away.

3- Pussy sighed, "The bone is gone,
    And it was a lovely one !"
    Fido sighed, "The bone I see,
    But the bone is not for me'"
    Jacky did not speak that day,
    He had nothing left to say.

Condition is Very Good.
