Cat come to visit us. Photo by Angela Lansbury. Copyright.
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.
