[[crossed-out]] When I get up from bed [[/crossed-out]] When I have got my clothes on I settle down to read; I take a handy book out And nothing do I heed. But after I have read a-while I see a furry form; Come waddeling [[waddling]] from the kitchen Wishing he was warm. He comes a-trotting to the couch. And jumps upon my lap; And soon a furry ball is formed [[crossed-out]]He does not leave a gap.[[/crossed-out]] Indeed, without a gap! When food is on our table And to breakfast I would go; Except that this old pussy Is purring soft and low.
