It’s too late

There was a young lady called Bates
Who had a strong yearning to mate
But no men was around

So she fell to the ground,

Crying,oh fluck,I have left it too late!

.

Then up came a large furry cat

Wearing a coat and a hat.

The cat offered marriage

and a honeymoon in the garage.

How will her parents take that?

**

The owl also came down from his tree

He  said,Will you please marry me?

I know you can’t fly,

I’ve been watching you try,

But we could live in a boat on the sea.

So in the end she has two wild house mates.

This seems to be the fashion of late.

They spend alternate nights

Debating their rights,

And pondering  her puzzling new fate.
