Living

The Sea Puss

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From A Phenomenal Fauna

Living

In ocean waters the Sea Puss is found,
Cat-like, forever chasing round and round.
She has no claws, but crouching sly and low
She stealthily puts out her undertow.
And when an old seadog comes in her way
I'll warrant you there is the deuce to pay!
