Six little mice
Sat down to spin;
Pussy passed by
And she peeped in.
“What are you doing,
My little men ?”
“Weaving coats
For gentlemen.”

“Shall I come in
And cut off your threads ?”
“No, no, Miss Pussy,
You’d bite off our heads.”
“Oh, no, I’ll not;
I’ll help you to spin.”
“That may be so,
But you don’t come in.”
