Let The Fat Cat Have Some Milk, Cod and Cream


 

Let the fat cat have some milk, cod and cream,

Despite him hunting mice all day, 

Please, please even cats deserve a treat.

Watching all day through the window,

Stalking Starmer-robins flying free, 

Let the fat cat have some milk, cod and cream. 

Squirrels lie – open casket – bleeding,

For the fat cat’s pleasure and sport, but

Please, please even fat cats deserve a treat.

Garden mice waiting for spring,

Are cruelly taken – there’s no hiding,

Let the fat cat have some milk, cod and cream. 

The fat cat chases a kitten into traffic,

An accident, on both accounts, 

Please, please even fat cats deserve a treat. 

Though he murders every single day,

That’s just every animal’s cruel way,

Let the cat have some milk, cod and cream,

Please, please even fat cats deserve a treat.
