Poem
The new 'Betagrain' produce store,
advertised for a manager.
The directors were more than pleased,
with the regime of Teddy Tiesler.
Ted’s to have two understudies;
Robby James and old Billy Syme.
Also Rex Collie, ‘though a mite slow,
would be his roustabout part time.

The first thing that caught Teddy's eye,
was how the store had been run down,
so he organized a clean-up,
during this, what he also found,
was the persistent evidence,
in colonies of mice and rats.
So this led Ted to encourage,
a gang of ‘Betagrain’ cats.

Now ‘Betagrain’s second hand trucks,
were driven for delivery.
One travelled to farms out of town,
the other dropped off locally.
Whenever the trucks were idle;
the wheels, axle, beneath the hood,
became favourite sleeping haunts,
for cats whenever that they could.

Ted became attached to these cats,
but became a little concerned;
some may get hurt, beneath those trucks;
two did and the others don't learn.
So Ted now had an arrangement,
with a local vet that he knows.
Whenever a cat gets injured,
the surgery for Ted doesn’t close.

This little scheme worked with success,
aach time that a cat’s taken 'round.
A little gift dropped off a truck
for the vet and was quickly found.
But then one morning the phone rang,
the vet was threatening to kill,
blasting Ted ‘bout a stupid joke,
that has Ted’s ears ringing still.

Seeking out an explanation,
Ted called his employ Bill and Bob.
Both were as puzzled as Ted was;
the only other man on the job,
was Rex but he’s way too dumb;
still, Ted asked him to come around;
Ted asked if he knew what happened;
Rex shuffled and looked at the ground.

"Bob", said Rex "It was bloody Bob,
who squashed the bloody cat flat.
I yelled out but he didn't hear,
so I picked up the run over cat.
You told me if a cat got hurt,
the vet would help us out for sure,
well he was out, so I left a note
with the cat - and slid 'em under the door".
