CLASS 4

Catastrophe Cat
Catastrophe Cat Lives in our house She doesnt mind dogs She wont chase a mouse. She sleeps all day long If theres nobody there But when we come home She gets quite a scare. Cat skates on the table And breaks all the dishes She scratches the couch And knocks over the fishes. She hangs off the curtains Then skids on the floor Grandma moves quickly As Cat thumps the door. My mum likes to pat Cat But Cat wont sit still. She hides in the cupboard Waiting until Mum gets the sausages Ready for tea Then Catastrophe swipes them And leaves none for me. She waits in the hallway Outside Dads door And she starts to wail When he starts to snore. Youd think Dad would learn But he chases the cat She moves so swiftly He trips on the mat. And all through the house We hear Meeeeow and Owww That cat is a nuisance Get rid of it now! But despite all the mess The noise and the strife We all love our Cat Shes part of our life.
