The silent day and noisy night.
Each day is dark; each night quite bright.
A life spent in reverse;
A blessing or a curse?
Living with owls, moths and starlight…

There was once a young lady of Hull,
Who was constantly mobbed by a gull.
So she moved to Diss,
Which should have been bliss,
But she found it exceedingly dull…

Who overate and piled on fat!

And crashed into a passing bat…

So I gave him a magician’s hat.
As I turned around,
The hat hit the ground,
And my cat said, “I’m not wearing that!”

Unless the course has resident voles.
In that situation,
Change your location,
Or switch to a game of crown green bowls!

So I grab my bat and prepare for play.
But there’s no wicket,
Just a wee bush-cricket,
Who takes one look at me and hops away…

A No-Nonsense Cat
There once lived a cat called Foss,
Who was clearly the Lear household boss.
When his food ran out,
And Ed wasn’t about,
That runcible cat became very cross!
