Joshua James

by Ethel Jacobson

My cat Joshua James

Can play games—

Puss-in-the-corner

And tag

And beanbag

And ball,

And that’s not all!

He’s magic!

He can purr

So low

You can’t hear.

But you can feel him go

Prrrr, prrrr

Through his fur.

And best of all,

Did you know

That stroking him

In the dark’ll

MAKE HIS FUR

SPARKLE?
