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!
