Cat!

E. Maconchy

Cat! Scat!

Atter her, atter her,

Sleeky flatterer

Spit-fire chatterer,

Scatter her, scatter her

Off her mat!

Wuff! Wuff!

Treat her rough!

Git her, git her,

Whiskery spitter!

Catch her, catch her,

Green-eyed scratcher!

Slithery, hisser,

Don't miss her!

Run till you're dithery,

Hithery, thithery

Pfitts! pfitts!

How she spits!

Spitch! Spatch!

Can't she scratch!

Scritching the bark

Of the sycamore tree,

She's reached her ark

And's hissing at me --

Pfitts! Pfitts! Wuff! Wuff!

Scat, cat! That's that!
