And growing, old - we're all like that
Today it's not sat on the mat
I guessed that it had not gone far
It slept in warmth under my car
I called, 'Hey, I know where you are!'
It jumped, up, fled, a tail I saw
Wave, inside my home's front door
I went inside - passed, it shot out!
Now every day I've fear and doubt
I know that it is round about
Dear neighbours, please don't let it out.
On Youtube I see kittens
In funny hats, teeny mittens.
One gulps down milk, it licks its fur
Eyes shut, gives a contented purr
For a day I'm sentimental
'Let's buy one?' 'No, Don't be mental
One tame cat will lure a wild friend
And you can guess where that will end
'Two kittens, a menagerie
An all day job for you and me
The vet's visits will not be free!'
'Okay. I'll let that idea be.'
For if I want to see a cat
Chase birds, or mice, even a rat
Loud sound reveals where two cats are
Caterwauling, under my car.
