 REDDIT ME:      

 

  Pussycat, Pussycat funny nusery rhyme by Australian writer Graeme King - funny, sad, serious and romantic poems. Poems for children, nature and environment poems. ©kingpoetry2007.
 

Pussycat, Pussycat

a stonnet (a sonnet that tells a well-known story)

Back to Main Stonnets Index

"Pussycat pussycat, where have you been?"
"I've been up to London to visit the Queen."
"Pussycat pussycat, what did you dare?"
"I frightened a little mouse under her chair"
 

I grilled the pussy cat, but he was tough,

and wouldn't tell me where he'd been last night,

I gave his head an accidental cuff

and turned the brightness dial on the light.

 

"I went to London - visiting with mates"

"A likely story! I know where you've been:

you've been to case the Royals' town estates,

and break into the palace of the Queen!"

 

"I never broke no laws while I was there!

You're mixing me with someone else, I guess,"

"I found your claw prints underneath her chair -

It's curtains, cat, you may as well confess!"

 

I grabbed the cuffs as he held out a paw,

yes, scaring mice is still against the law!
