Mama's Hat

I have a little white thing
And China is her name
And when I go to bed at night
She plays a little game.

When I lay my head to rest
My little China cat
Winds herself around my head
And makes a purring hat.

Blessed be
Baha

Oh, how cute! I'm jealous - I want a purring hat! Mom, why can't I
have a purring hat??

PS - I can just hear the tune this ditty goes to, but I can't remember
the name of the song, if I ever even knew it.

Then dreidel I shall play!

Oh, I wasn't thinking of that song. (I used to do parodies of that
about my cats... "I have a little Smudgie, she's made all out of fur,
and when I stroke and pet her, how loudly she will purr..." Or
something. Actually, Smudge doesn't purr loudly. Poetic license.)

No, I was thinking of a different song, more like this:

(Please excuse 2-3 seconds of silence at the beginning.)

I have a little shadow that goes round and round with me

I didn't 'know' the rest, but Google was my friend:

My Shadow
by Robert Louis Stevenson

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.

The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow-
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there's none of him at all.

He hasn't got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he's a coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as that shadow sticks to me!

One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an errant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

Thanks for the post. I remembered it from long ago as a song
(sing-song?) but I was apparently wrong. Your backyard cat is a beauty
as is what I can see of your daughter. Best wishes. MLB
