Cats
Everybody loves the cats
that hang around our house
they caught a pigeon and a rat
and once or twice
they've caught some mice
the clogless sort you understand
from Liverpool not Amsterdam
these scally cats are tough as boots
and live on scraps of tasty food
that various eccentic types
deliver in the dead of night
the 'chicken man' comes once a day
with morsels from the takeaway
he spends a fortune from his pension
but never witnesses the tension
caused by all this roasting meat
that's much too hot for them to eat!
so hardened moggies gather round
and make the most god awful sounds
but all that's left in an hour or two
is a pile of bones that cats can't chew
as one by one they wander off
with bellies full of warming scoff
to find a place to spend the night
that's warm and dry and out of sightmore ........
