EXTREME WARNING: Close your eyes if the next pic is too horrendous for you!

I have to be very careful when I go to work (yes, I do work!) because this

Three little kittens,

They lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear,

We sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost.

What! Lost your mittens

You naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

You shall have no pie!

The three little kittens,

They found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Our mittens we have found.

The three little kittens,

Put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie;

Oh, mother dear,We greatly fear

Our mittens we have soiled.

Then they began to sigh,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

The three little kittens,

They washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

Oh mother dear,

Look here, look here,

Our mittens we have washed.

What! Washed your mittens,

You're such good kittens.

Hush! Hush! Hush! Hush!Hush! Hush! Hush!

I smell a rat close by.

You can stop singing now!

And I will have to come inside after chasing the rats

and just wait for a sunny day to appear miraculously out of the blue!
