TWO LOVELY BLACK EYES

By Trish  20113

An alley cat came out last night,

challenged me to a serious fight.

I thought of  acting very tough,

for heavens sake enough! enough!

'And what's your reason says I, says I?'

while actually acting pretty sly.

I knew full well what it was all about,

But what sense, be there, in a moggy lout?

In My Own Defence

What was all the fuss about?
Why, what  I did,

was simply shout,
'Over here, old tabby cat,
it's now or never, no turning back.
That old bore has got my goat,
if I didn't know better, I'd slit his throat!'
