SCAREDY CAT

Scaredy cat Scaredy cat scaredy cat She runs away inside, Halloween is drawing near And she only wants to hide. To be a proper witches cat She really must aspire, But she curls up just like a ball All snuggled by the fire. She never bares her pointed teeth She never bites and gnaws, She always keeps her coat real clean And she manicures her claws. If she ever sees a spider She’ll run right out the door, And a tiny mouse will send her Scampering across the floor. She`ll climb the nearest tree If she hears a small dog bark, And she never leaves the castle at night As she`s frightened of the dark. She hates the cold and damp In the witches icy tomb, And she`s petrified of heights So she never rides the broom. To train to be a witches cat It`s really quite a battle, As she runs and hides every time She hears a witches cackle. But with Halloween upon her She really starts to fret, She doesn`t want to scratch and hiss She`d rather be a pet. The other cats all laugh at her They think it`s really funny, As she much prefers Christmas time And she loves the Easter bunny. Ghosts and ghouls just turn her pale She feels queasy and quite sick, Trolls goblins and monsters Make her run away real quick. Bats and snails and frogs entrails And cauldrons on the fire, Pointed hats and broomsticks And the witches black attire. Casting spells and Halloween Fill scaredy cat full of fear, So her witch just lets her stay at home And they`ll try again next year. Snuggled by the fire at last She’s feeling safe and sound, No flying high at midnight Her claws are on the ground. One day she`ll have the courage And her fear she might forget, But for now she`s really happy Just to be a witches pet.
