"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!
