Cat and Mouse.

Cat and Mouse.

 

There is a big black cat across the road,

Keeps skulking around my place of abode.

This behaviour frightens my little mouse,

He asks me to keep it away from the house.

I have placed a hosepipe in my front garden,

Use it I will; I will give nor ask for pardon.

This cat is a terror he is known all over.

What is more he is a nocturnal rover.

The baby mice are afraid to go out to play.

Just in case the cat comes their way.

I have complained to its rightful owner,

He laughs and said do not be a moaner.

I have put up a fence around the house,

to stop the cat getting a nice fat mouse.

Emergency pipes I have laid in the ground,

They connect to the house, which is very sound.

Now the mice they can all run into the house.

At which the cat stops to have a grouse.

My hosepipe I have used many a time,

That cat does not deserve to be mentioned in my rhyme.

So I will put my magic pen away for today,

All of my mice have come into the garden to play.
