At the school today there was quite a stir. A hamper had come for young Tommy Purr. There were nuts and apples all rosy red, Oranges nearly as big as a head; With almonds and raisins, and sugar and spice, |
A pie that was filled with the most tender mice, And cakes all covered with candied peels, And a mouse to play with that ran on wheels. From far and near the kittens did scamper, And shouted hurrah for Tommy Purr’s hamper. |
