I know a little pussy

Her coat is silver gray

She lives down in the meadow

Not very far away.

Though she is a pussy

She’ll never be a cat.

She is a pussy willow.

Now what do you think of that!

                                    Traditional

While waiting for Spring I can't resist painting Spring's awakening around me and Pussy Willows always fascinated me.
