A plate of fish, a cosy lap,
Perhaps a lick of cream,
To sit and purr before the fire,
Well, even cats can dream!
I've never had a proper home,
No door has opened wide,
O friendly voice called out to me,
"Come on puss, come inside"
But now maybe I've found a friend;
Though I'm not really sure,
I dare not eat the food she brings,
Until she's closed the door
But there's a nice big wooden box,
Put just inside the shed,
With cosy blanket tucked well in,
To make a lovely bed
Tomorrow I shall take a chance,
(She seems so nice and kind)
To get myself inside that door
And leave the dark behind
That friendly fire I'll sit beside,
My lonely days all past,
A real belonging cat I'll be,
And have a home at least
But there are other lonely one,
Who ask themselves "Why me?"
If only they would have my luck
Real Christmas it would be
