　　Pussy can climb a tree,

　　Or play with a silly old cork and string

　　To 'muse herself, not me.

　　But I like Binkie my dog, because

　　He knows how to behave;

　　So, Binkie's the same as the First Friend was,

　　And I am the Man in the Cave!

　　Pussy will play man-Friday till

　　It's time to wet her paw

　　And make her walk on the window-sill

　　(For the footprint Crusoe saw);

　　Then she fluffles her tail and mews,

　　And scratches and won't attend.

　　But Binkie will play whatever I choose,

　　And he is my true First Friend!

　　Pussy will rub my knees with her head

　　Pretending she loves me hard;

　　But the very minute I go to my bed

　　Pussy runs out in the yard,

　　And there she stays till the morning-light;

　　So I know it is only pretend;

　　But Binkie, he snores at my feet all night,

　　And he is my Firstest Friend!

　　Rudyard Kipling
