The Bigger Mouse Two-Timing Cat With The Second Home comic poem 630 by Angela Lansbury

In my neighbour's conservatory we sat

Three ladies lunching having such a friendly chat

Creeping through the garden comes my neighbour's tabby cat

I adopted, she claims, this stray, hungry cat


I feed him each day, she joyfully says

At breakfast, the eating race, he's the winner

The other lady gasped, 'I'm shocked, not your cat!

He's mine, calls home promptly at nine for dinner!


The householder's husband, hears and sneaks outside

Pretends to do washing up, like a clean cat

'Cats and men are the same, two timers, I say,'

My two lady friends are laughing, flushed, blushing.

-ends- 

This is a revision of verse 508 called Catatonic.

Bigger mouse is a pun on bigamous.
