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.
