Description
The letter P is illustrated with a woman is sitting on a chair, spoon-feeding her monkey while surrounded by her other pets, among which a cockatoo, a cat, fishes, dogs, and a squirrel. The full verse reads:
Some people say that Aunty Gray
To animals is kind;
We think, instead, they are over fed,
And kept too much confined.
