The Cot's Concert.

To-night ! To-night ! In the pale moonlight On the house-top there will be A concert quite long, with many a song To be sung to you and me. Our big black Jim, with his shirt front white, Sings " Birdie, Come unto Me," And the Persian Cat, who is rolling fat, Will Ijowl like a Chimpanzee. Spruce little Snowball, next on the list, Shall sing Tosti's sweet "Good-bye," And the little grey kit, who is such a chit, Will warble of " Nelly Bly." And then altogether in chorus We'll give you the " Three Blind Mice," For part songs, you know, though fashions change so, Are always thought to be nice. Please pay as you enter, three sparrows Or a minah'll do if he's fat; Proceeds of the Show, as you very well know, Are to go to the blind Tom Cat. Lylie Coleman.
