The Cat Sneaks In…
When the cat finally came Â
Â
He noticed something was wrong Â
Â
No one was talking Â
Â
No one singing a song Â
Â
The house was so quiet Â
Â
It sounded empty and bare Â
Â
The sound was so odd Â
Â
The cat tried not to stare Â
Â
When he got in the house Â
Â
The kids were sleeping in bed Â
Â
Both tucked in tight Â
Â
Upon the pillow, their head. Â
Â
The cat couldn’t stand Â
Â
The quiet all through the house Â
Â
He started to scream Â
Â
He even woke up the mouse Â
Â
The children woke up Â
Â
And were scared half to death Â
Â
The cat sat there waiting Â
Â
The cat holding his breath Â
Â
They started to cry Â
Â
And the cat he felt bad Â
Â
All he wanted to do Â
Â
Was have fun like they’d had. Â
Â
He looked at the kids Â
Â
And smiled best as he could Â
Â
The kids would be happy Â
Â
Well, he thought that they should Â
Â
He started to stare Â
Â
And wonder how they’d react Â
Â
They started to smile Â
Â
They started laughing in fact Â
Â
The cat was so happy Â
Â
He jumped up and down Â
Â
The kids they just chuckled Â
Â
He acted just like a clown. Â
Â
When all of a sudden Â
Â
The hall light went on Â
Â
Mom and dad they were coming Â
Â
The fun was all done. Â
Â
The cat would be back Â
Â
If not later, then soon Â
Â
And he snuck out the window Â
Â
Using light from the moon.Â
