by Anna Maria Roos (1862 - 1938)

Där bodde en katt
Language: Swedish (Svenska) 
Där bodde en katt
vid Kattegatt
han hade ljusröd nos;
han satt och såg 
åt blånande våg
allt under en nyponros.

Hans frukost var sill 
och mjölk därtill
nu är han så nöjd och mätt.
I solens gass 
han synar sin tass
och slickar den fin och nätt.

Där kilar en mus 
vid fiskarens hus,
men misse är lat idag.
»Miau, miau, med sill 
och med mjölk därtill
jag tror jag mig nöjer jag.«
