The Song of Hungry Cats

^{(borrowing a tune from Les Miserables)}

Do you hear the kitties sing?
singing the song of hungry cats–
They are a feisty fetch of felines
who are hunting in the thatch!
Do you hear the cats’ demand?
Say, do you hear that hungry sound?
If you’re a mouse, you’d better run
or your life is done!

Will you interrupt your sleep?
Will you get up, and face the mouse?
Some will doze and some will leap,
will you go tearing through the house?
Will you stir from your slumbers
to set up your moment to pounce?

Do you hear the kitties sing?
Say do you hear the hungry howl
Of the starving of the felines
crouching sly upon the prowl?
Do you see the twitching tail,
Say do you see the eyes so wide
as they stare and stare at the bowl
with naught inside?
