The Friendly Cat

On the pavement, as we passed byPhoto of friendly cat at Sue’s Were some apples, give them a try The sign on them said, naught to pay Just pick some up, go on your way

But on the ground next to that There was a very friendly cat Surely he’s not giv’n away But by his house he didn’t stay

Wandered off but not too far He hid under the neighbour’s car Before heading to their front door Begging ‘Let me in’ with his paw
