Miss Kitty was rude at the table one day, / And would not sit still on her seat; / Regardless of all that her mother could say, / From her chair little Kitty kept running away / All the time they were eating their meat.

As soon as she saw that the beef was remov'd, / She ran to her chair in great haste; / But her mother such giddy behaviour reprov'd / By sending away the sweet pudding she lov'd, / Without giving Kitty one taste.
