The first poem is about six little mice who are spinning thread to make coats for gentlemen. A cat named Pussy peers in and asks what they are doing, threatening to bite their threads. The mice tell her she cannot come in.
The second poem is a nonsensical rhyme about a person whose father died. They were left six horses to plow with. They sold the horses and bought a cow, hoping to make a fortune but not knowing how. They then sold their cat and bought a mouse, but the mouse's tail was on fire and it burned down their house. The poem repeats nonsense phrases throughout.
