Diabolical Plan of the Tea Party Cats

Tea party cats were having the time of their life number five.
They had a bunch of milk spilled, and they felt very alive!
Mrs. McGoogle had left instructions for them to be kept happy.
When she died, they were entrusted to her nephew, Mr. McFrappy.

McFrappy had no children, so they became the love of his life.
Did their best to chase off women; never wanted him to take a wife.
They could entertain him as well as any human female after all.
Enthusiastic and fun, fur, tails, and their personalities were tall.

When a woman came over, they would make sure to jump on the cart.
To eat all the scones and biscuits and rip the tablecloth apart.
Wanted to scare them off, afraid of what a Mrs. McFrappy might do.
They did not care that McFrappy was lonely, depressed, sad or blue.

McFrappy spent his days watching the cats have a party every day.
Never realizing they were what was keeping his love life at bay.
But one day a woman who loved cats came over and liked them a lot.
She cheered him up too and married the Scot
