Christmas for Harley sometimes must take place Within the confines of a cat hotel But when we stay at home, life changes pace And Christmas is a time of living well. He dines on turkey, chicken or pork pie Comes in and out, or sleeps on peacefully; With sometimes pause to wonder, why oh why Do humans gather round a plastic tree? The tinsel's good for laughs, the balls will roll, But golden cherubs really are the dregs. Fake trees are pretty useless, on the whole For party animals with four short legs. He'll watch the fibre optics with a frown, Dreaming of when he'll pounce and bring them down.
Ha! Yes. 'erbert was a black and white, he loved Christmas trimmings too. 'erbert was the only cat I've ever taken to, most of them have no sense of humour.
