I hear the people talking,
as if they think I don’t hear,
about a friendly visit
that happens once a year.
They say there will be baskets
filled with chocolate and cheer.
brought to us with care
from a pair of floppy ears.
Well I am sure not one for chocolate
and no cat exhibits cheer,
so take the contents back
but leave the basket here.
