THE ADVENTURES OF MICHAEL
“Give me,” says Mike, “a peaceful life, I wish no more to roam; I think I’ll be a Gardening Cat, and stay awhile at home. First I must have the implements that every gardener needs; I’ll purchase proper gardening tools, and then I’ll buy some seeds,”
Mike dug and dug and Dug anti DUG, to make his garden plot The sun came out and smiled at him, and oh, the day was hot! The cheeky birds came round to watch, and ate worms big and small. But Mike was so industrious he saw them hot at all.
“Coffie, see my garden now,’’ said Mike, when several months did pass, And Horace gasped to see the change, where once was only grass. "How do you grow such lovely things?" he asked. “I wish I knew!”
But ah, to ev’ry gardener there comes an evil day, And to Mike’s lovely garden White butterflies did stray!.. As Mike, like one demented, pursued these pests around, He trampled beans and cabbages and carrots to the ground!
•"ke Was so pleased he gave him greens and iuicv carrot, too.
