Of Course I love her. But I love the Kitten, too; and It has Fur.

[Pg 12]

Curls

t happens that way in the world

With everything you see.

Some people have their hair all curl'd,

Some straight as straight can be.

It is a Mystery.

Yes, some have hair that waves and clings,

And does all kinds of curly things;—

And some not ever, till they Die.

And nobody knows Why....

And some,—already born with Curls,

Some of them are not even Girls!

I always think,—of Curly Hair,

It looks as if the Curls came there

The way I hum around a song

More things than really do belong.

The happier I feel, the more

I sing, I never heard before!
