Is There Really a Cat In There
We teachers have the summer off.
So far I have been everywhere, done everything.
I’ve only been out a few seconds, and I have packed in the fun!
I gave up cleaning the whole house.
Even if we were having Mrs. Snoopy – my twin sister.
The kitchen counters gave me a marvelous idea.
Why not box it all up, and clean the counters?
I could dig this stuff out after they are gone.
After I piled seventeen boxes in the bedroom I had a new thought.
What if she looks in there? And of course she will.
In about three seconds I had this sign on the door “Please do not let cat out.”
My sister asked me several times “Is there really a cat in there?”
We are both allergic to cats, but she knows that I have one anyway.
I said “Go ahead and look,” but she never did.
