Calico Cat

I walk down the road
And what do I see?
A Calico cat is

For he once did a favour
For the King and the Queen.

Of royalty was he
And frequently sat
On the pretty queen's knee.

For the Calico Cat
In whose honour was gave.
In awe and in wonder
Regarded was he,
And to this day the Calico
Still sits on 'the knee'
So hush little darlings
As the tale will be told
And we'll all keep the secret
To have and to hold.
So his story he told me,
Then he went on his way
