The Cats have left for tea

D. Healey

What did she see – oh, what did she see,

As she stood leaning against the tree?

Why all the Cats had come to tea.

What a fine turn out – from round about,

All the houses had let them out,

And here they were with scamper and shout.

"Mew – mew – mew!" was all they could say,

And, "We hope we find you well to-day."

Oh, what should she do – oh, what should she do?

What a lot of milk they would get through;

For here they were with "Mew – mew – mew!"

She didn't know – oh, she didn't know,

If bread and butter they'd like or no;

They might want little mice, oh! oh! oh!

Dear me – oh, dear me,

All the cats had come to tea.
