A sweet little song....My best laugh of the Day!!!

I Love Little Pussy
I love little pussy,
Her coat is so warm,
And if I don't hurt her,
She'll do me no harm.
So I'll not pull her tail,But pussy and I,
Very gently will play.
History:
This poem was first seen in 1830 and its popularity has it appearing in almost every nursery rhyme collection. The rhyme tells a child how to treat his/her pets gently.
Ok...this morning at the Elementary School, a sixth grade teacher saw this song in a grade school book. She promptly showed it to the school secretary who was on the phone at the time. Later, when I got there to pick up Little Man, the secretary was showing the song to the elementary Band Director...you know, in case he needed a new song for the kids to play at the Spring concert. Well, they let me in on the secret and I thought I would pee my pants!!! The band director asked me if it would be considered sexual harrassment...I told him~"Only if you sing it!!!"
