Pussy Willows~

Pussy willows represent an early sign of spring~

"Pussy willows dressed in gray,
sitting on their tree one day,
wished that really cats they were,
with long tails to match their fur.

Fairies playing around nearby,
heard the pussy willow's cry.
Told them not to weep or fret,
for their wish they'd surely get.

Waved their wands about the two,
tails and whiskers on them grew.
Now you're free to leave the tree,
out the wide, wide world to see."
