wow mother goose was a little risky.....

So I was reading to Teddy out of a mother goose book when I read this rhyme:
I like little *****
Her coat is so warm
And if I don't hurt her she'll do me no harm
So I'll not pull her tail nor drive her away
But ***** and I very gently will play

Lol I know its about a cat but the first two lines had me
