The first verse came naturally after I mentioned "a little black
stool, over in the corner". The second verse came from not wanting to
leave well enough alone. I'm unsure if I'll want to add more verses;
I currently have no plans to.
Title: Little Wood Stool
ttto: Little White Duck by Bernard Zaritzky & Walt Barrows
There's a little wood stool sitting in the corner
A little wood stool, and on it sits Jack Horner
He stuck his thumb in his Christmas pie
And pulled out a plum and he said "Now I
Am a very good boy, sitting in the corner.
Ha, ha, ha."
There's a pie full of birds, twenty-four I figger
And when it is cut, the birds will sing with vigor
The king and the queen were pleased, of course,
But a blackbird took the maid's nose by force.
A very good pie, cooked with love and rigor,
Not to eat.

guessing an author's opinions from his novels.

Here's a verse that sticks a little closer to the original:

There's a little black cat sinking in the water,
A little black cat, where she shouldn't oughter.
She screamed and wailed as she wanted out,
And was rescued by little Tommy Stout.
There's a little black cat sitting in the water,
Meow, meow, meow.

Make that "sinking" to match the first line.

If it's been rescued, than it's no longer sinking. Though, on the
other paw, it's also no longer in the water.
