Cats Dance Around the Christmas Tree

The master and his family were gone to grandma’s house.
There was scurrying and screeching, from the family of a mouse.
The door opened wide, and cats came in with an enormous shout.
The master and his family had left the plum pudding and the milk out.

The mice ran in every direction, and the cats began to dance.
They stomped the mice and ate them, and they did a lively prance.
They drank the milk and devoured the cookies from every single plate.
They danced a cat jig that was lively until one said “it’s getting late!”

There were twelve cats in all, and they put up quite a lively yell.
If we eat any more of this family’s food, we might just go to…..
They grabbed cheese from the frig and continued the party down the road.
Where they tormented a snake, a snail, a warthog and a toad.
