Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGAHA IJ KKLLHHMNOOPP AA| You've read of several kinds of Cat | A |
| And my opinion now is that | A |
| You should need no interpreter | B |
| To understand their character | B |
| You now have learned enough to see | C |
| That Cats are much like you and me | C |
| And other people whom we find | D |
| Possessed of various types of mind | D |
| For some are same and some are mad | E |
| And some are good and some are bad | E |
| And some are better some are worse | F |
| But all may be described in verse | F |
| You've seen them both at work and games | G |
| And learnt about their proper names | G |
| Their habits and their habitat | A |
| But | H |
| How would you ad dress a Cat | A |
| - | |
| So first your memory I'll jog | I |
| And say A CAT IS NOT A DOG | J |
| - | |
| And you might now and then supply | K |
| Some caviare or Strassburg Pie | K |
| Some potted grouse or salmon paste | L |
| He's sure to have his personal taste | L |
| I know a Cat who makes a habit | H |
| Of eating nothing else but rabbit | H |
| And when he's finished licks his paws | M |
| So's not to waste the onion sauce | N |
| A Cat's entitled to expect | O |
| These evidences of respect | O |
| And so in time you reach your aim | P |
| And finally call him by his NAME | P |
| - | |
| So this is this and that is that | A |
| And there's how you AD DRESS A CAT | A |
