 | Springfield Town is Butterfly Town And Other Poems for Children |  |
The Independent Thomas
He would slip through the brush and the thorn,
Treating the scratches with scorn.
Treating the scratches with scorn.
He would slide through a perilous street,
Emerging both haughty and neat.
Emerging both haughty and neat.
The Calico Tom took the town
In a jacket of orange and brown.
In a jacket of orange and brown.
But we gave him his supper in vain.
He walked in the woods in the rain.
He walked in the woods in the rain.
He slipped through the woods on the ice,
Out-skating the shadows and mice.
Out-skating the shadows and mice.
