WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT – TOM JONES

 

Looking for the waxwings

eating apples in the orchard

a big cat came to greet me

he was huge and very forward

He climbed the fence to meet me

to block my view of birds

he told me they were meant for him

hadn't anybody heard

I must admit he made my day

he made me belly laugh

I laughed until my ribs were aching

he told me I was daft

He climbed the fence like he was human

and not a cat at all

but he landed like a cat on all fours

told me a tale so tall

Once upon an eerie moment

he said he'd seen a ghost

while lurking in the nearby churchyard

scratching at a post

It was the spirit of a lady

who carried a lantern bright

she stooped to pick up falling conkers

her body clothed in white

her hair so long and straggly dangled

over her eyes and face

her finger nails were more like talons

that cut through her finest lace

“I think she was a witch”, he said

“and once I was her familiar,

so I hid behind the biggest headstone

in case she beckoned me to her.”

“Were you afraid?”, I asked the cat.

“No, not at all, not really ...

but I'd rather be a humble cat

chasing the waxwings freely.”

He looked well fed and was content

he loved to pose for his portrait

and I was sorry to say goodbye

but had I stayed I would be late

Happy Fence Friday to you my friends

and a Happy Caturday too

It's nice to be back and feeling happy

and it's lovely to see all of you! : 0)
