The cat and the bellows, actually A Moony Cat http://dolfielittles.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/mother-gooses-nursery-rhymes-mystery.html was a bit of the key but old fashioned Googling for old Mother Goose books and the title specifically brought me to The Mclaughlin Mother Goose on Ebay and the book being from somewhere between 1900 to 1920 which makes sense because my granmother was born in 1921.
Look up the horrifying A Moony Cat rhyme then wonder how our ancestors had that and other "nasty" tales as kids yet grew up just fine.

If they had it as a download it would save me a lot of right clicking, but at least I don't have to scan my copy and can see if any of it can be salvaged for art projects.
