Cat Burglar

As he crawled through the window flashlight in hand Little did he know but would soon come to understand Feeling his way around so as not to make any noise When he heard a sound ah must be one of those darn toys But then he heard it true now he could not misconstrue "I see you, and Jesus sees you too" Full of fear and fright he turned to that sound And as he shined his light it's a silly little parrot that he found "I see you and Jesus sees you too" Picking up a lamp on cue he was going to... But in dropping his flashlight on the floor it shined under the parrots table Met with an angry salivating roar, this dog belonged in a stable Looking back up at that goofy bird and completely frozen by fear And then next what he heard was not what he wanted to hear "Sic' em Jesus" is what that goofy bird said Ripped him to pieces should have of just stayed home instead
