My Kitten Had an Accident
From the book The Elephant Repairman
My kitten had an accident.
She whimpered, wept, and wailed.
She played near an electric fan
and got herself detailed.
But now she’s good as new
and feeling better than before.
She bought a brand-new kitten tail
down at the retail store.
