Kitty Litter

Cat owners will recognize "the crazies" but still love them...

THIS is a true story!

 

"Kitty Litter"

 

A cat was on the kitchen bord, another on the floor.

A third was on the counter scratching at the cabnet door.

A fourth was on the burning stove sniffing at the pot

And the fifth one didn't seem to care the stew was might hot.

The whistling of the boiling kettle startled number six

Then in ran little number seven up to all her tricks.

She slid across the table and scattered all the plates.

The sound of all the dishes crashing set of all her mates.

The fifth cat jumped in terror, knocking down the stew

To the second cat down on the floor who knew just what to do.

She took off running through the house escaping from the heat,

The other cats chased after her through gravy, spuds and meat.

There were footprints on the curtains and pictures off the wall

As they scattered all the hot potatoes up and down the hall.

The lady of the house took off with broom and mop in hand

On a journey she seemed used to to catch her feisty band.

Each furry arse went flying by as every cat took flight

As their mistress swung her mop and broom and cursed with all her might.

She cleaned up all the gravy and food from off the floor.

With temper lost she started back to even up the score!

But when she reached the parlour with murder on her mind

She found her cats were fast asleep now, having played and dined.

She mellowed and grew kinder as they snuggled on the chair,

She knew her life would be a bore if her cats were not there!
