Cat Rules


Billy the Cat from Cottingham
Playing away from home
To be about preferring out
On a slinky rambling roam
He doesn’t seek permission
Nor any contract guarantor
Backyard gardens derelict sheds
Through any halfway open door
Billy the Cat from Cottingham
Claws his way from wall to tree
Always one more life to scratch
Decided independently
No need of royal charters
His safe positions held secure
Staff who keep the castle grounds
Standby in waiting steadfast sure

Specially written for Patti whose cat Billy returned home minus his collar. The missing collar was a mystery and it was found on my neighbours garden wall and I was able to return it via  the address and telephone number on the collar medalion.
