I moved to this town, and that was that.
Just me and my chattels and two Siamese cats.
We quickly settled in this jewel of a place,
So tranquil, away from the burly rat race.
(Well so I thought)
Then one Wednesday evening, tired as a lamb
Intending to sleep till my early alarm,
I noticed the quiet was a trifle too much,
No kitties demanding food and such.
Into the dining room, there were my cats
Mesmerised on the hearth then... I heard a tap, tap, tap.
My cats were ecstatic, eyes lit up with glee
Thinking "Mummy has brought a bird home for me".
And sure enough behind the stove's door
Was a bird, I was frantic, just sat on the floor
Thinking, Susie be calm and think what to do.
Call the RSPCA, they will help you.
I did and they said, "Now listen to me,
Just do as I say and the bird will be free".
That sounded to me slightly wacky, right?
They meant me, not them, and I was in fright!!!
