The little Kitten pokes the mitten with its paw,

the threads in the wool reminds Kitty of `nother toy;

a ball of yarn, which also easily hooks the claw,

and awakens within kitty: instinct and joy.

In a moment of sharp-edged innocent desire;

a thread of wool in the claws of a little kitten.

A serious play, this is. For the mitten, `tis fire,

it is like kitty is of a higher power smitten.

The power of mother Nature

teaches kitty the laws of the cat.

Every mitten comes from an act of filature,

every kitten is a lion, and that is the end of that.

So when your kitten chases mitten on the floor,

enjoy the sight of nature`s why and wherefore.
