The Cat Sat On the Mat

They all come in There’s a family din But the cat sat on the mat Tea time done They have some fun But the cat sat on the mat It’s early evening Kids are screaming But the cat sat on the mat Eight at night Kids out of sight But the cat sat on the mat News at Ten For Kate and Ben But the cat sat on the mat A cold winter’s night Folk tucked up tight But the cat sat on the mat Three in the morning The house is snoring But the cat sat on the mat Mice scurry past Could it be their last? But the cat sat on the mat Seven in the morning Milk is pouring But the cat sat on the mat What is wrong with this cat? Oh - it’s dead! ~~~ One of my early poems written in September 2012 1st place The Throwback Challenge Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg
