Never Rescue a Cat From a Tree
Never Rescue a Cat From a Tree
By Elton Camp
The cat has climbed a tree and can’t descend
Unless you help it, the cat has reached its end
That is what the neighbor woman fearfully bade
When she approached you, tearfully seeking aid
When such a request as this you come to hear,
Tell the old lady that she has nothing to fear
Soon out of the tree the cat will sure be gone
For when it gets hungry, it’ll come on its own
And if doubt or hesitation in her you detect,
Then her mistaken thinking you have to correct
“Just how many cat skeletons did you ever see
That, of a starved cat, are hanging up in a tree?”
