A Sale of Two Kitties by John T. Baker She peered through the window Of the shop on the square At all the poor creatures Imprisoned in there And wondered who'd loved them, If they'd run away Or been stolen by strangers, Now doomed here to stay. She gazed at the kittens In the cage by the door, Then mustered her courage And entered the store. "I've only one dollar," She informed the young clerk, "If that's not enough, why . . . Perhaps I could work?" He thought for a moment Then looked up to say, "One dollar is just what The price is today." She gave him her money, The kittens were hers, She tenderly stroked them, They thanked her with purrs. She left with her treasures . . . The clerk would convey That the rest of their value Should come from his pay. |
