A Clever Feat.
Our master is an artist
And clever, people say;
We kitties thought him clever
Until the other day,
When we were in the studio
And master was away.
And clever, people say;
We kitties thought him clever
Until the other day,
When we were in the studio
And master was away.
We thought that painting pictures
Meant cleverness it's true,
Until we tried to paint one
And then we painted two:
Both of them much more lovely
Than any he can do.
Meant cleverness it's true,
Until we tried to paint one
And then we painted two:
Both of them much more lovely
Than any he can do.
There's one upon the canvass
All splodgy and complete;
And one upon the palette
And that is still more sweet:
We clever kitties did them,
We did them with our feet!
All splodgy and complete;
And one upon the palette
And that is still more sweet:
We clever kitties did them,
We did them with our feet!
