My human …
gives me food.
My human ….
gives me water.
My human …
gives me love …
and protection …
and a place to stay …
and so much more.
If your human
doesn’t give you all these things …
then they darn well oughta!
Rosie is our cat
And a pretty cat at that
She likes to sit on a mat
And make like a bat;
Upon the door she knocks ‘rat-a-tat-tat!’
And she knows where she’s at;
She’s ever so small;
And you can’t say she’s fat;
She has no excess poundage,
She’s as lean a gnat;
I don’t think we’ve seen her wearing a hat;
Or dressed to the nines
In some cast off tat.
In fact, Rosie has perfect pitch
And sings in B flat;
I could say much more
But, I’ll leave it at that.
When J Cooper-Clarke Reluctantly got a Puppy for Christmas
NB Please read this in your best J C-C accent for best effect
Steaming hot or frozen cold
I pick up his poop when I am told
But, bugger this for a lark
I’m famous me, I’m John Cooper-Clarke.
