You can decorate the walls
and you can plump up the settee;
you can go into the yard
and cultivate an apple tree;
You can polish all the china;
you can lay a welcome mat,
but a home is not a home
without an itty kitty cat.
You can have a massive telly
and hang pictures left and right;
put keepsakes on the mantelpiece
in dappled candlelight;
you can hammer in a nail
for a place to hang your hat,
but a home is not a home
without an itty kitty cat.
You can get a fancy mansion
in a beautiful location;
procure a cosy cottage
with no semblance of privation;
you can buy a barge, or caravan,
but here’s the caveat;
a home is not a home
without an
itty
kitty
CAT!
(And a kitty can live
wherever you choose,
but will always prefer
to live in a mews…)
