Tell me,dear cat, how do you keep stripes clean
And furthermore those  small bits in between?
How do you keep your whiskers all one length
And jump off walls with just the  ideal  strength?

I hear you have nine wives and so have I
If this is true,indeed it is a lie
Do you not think seven are quite enough
As some days serving two is rather tough?

How do you clean your nails without a brush?
Do lady cats when older ever flush?
Do you like to sleep in heaps like logs
Or wander in the night around our blogs?

Oh,cat, my darling, come and be my mate
For if we wait we may find  we are late

I lost my gender and my sex as well
Flying back from Glasgow on a plane
How I  fell in love,no-one shall tell

I saw   his eyes were shining like fire balls
But  much of him  is hidden, yet remains
I lost the bull, the cow, my  flocks as well

His collar was emblazoned with  cats’ tails
His trousers were  dark green and full of stains
How I  fell in love,no-one can tell

I  told him his two ears were like sea shells
To see him was enough to  cure migraines
I wish to wander and my stick is well

I worship him with love perpetual
To hear him speak is gladness unrestrained
How I   grew so happy, I done well

When we’re loved, we  humans feel no shame
If we’re hated, who shall take the blame?
I  grew so  wise I was a doctor’s  belle
How to  pass in love, I wonder still.

Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had
The good need  not be lost when lovers part.
If you need space then take it and be glad.

Because I love you, I shall  now be  sad
But there’s no need to  stab me in  the heart
Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had.

With your loving words I once was clad
Now naked to the winds, I must  depart
If you need space then take it and be glad.

The only constant love is that of God
No Eros is He with his arrowed darts
Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had.

On these forlorn, faint tracks I have  once trod
In my mind I search for   ragged  charts
If you need space then take it and be glad.

I have my maps and now am fully clad.
With tenderness,farewell my dearest heart.
Do not destroy the  joy of  all we  had.
If you need space then take it and be glad.

 

I learned the maps of all the  counties here
The contour lines, the rivers   and  the meres
Then I learned  the street maps and  train lines
New golf courses built on old coal mines

I traced all of the A roads with my thumb
So I would  know the way  to kingdom come
I marvelled at  cross -Pennine Motorways
And   thought that our Lord God must be amazed

Then I followed coastline paths and cliffs
I gazed until my eyes became quite stiff.
Finally  the weather maps and clouds
And restaurants where cats are not allowed

At last I knew enough  to start to walk.
If only I had known I am  a hawk.

Sir Anthony Eden confused deserts and launched a phoney war on the Bedouins.As they lived in  the Negev desert in  Israel  it was somewhat confusing because Israel had just invaded Egypt  via Sinai in collusion with France and Britain
Did they want their just deserts?
The Bedouin took their tents and went awol. Now they live in no man’s land.
The USA refused to help and Britain had to get her troops out.
Score:Nasser 17 UK 1

Meanwhile Prince Philip is in Antarctica wondering where to go next.
Princess Margaret has disappeared [ maybe with the Bedouins?] and Princess Diana has not yet been born.
Everyone is dressed  smartly as jeans have not been invented.

The Queen is lonesome but does not take a  lover as she loves  her husband and doesn’t want to cause a scandal.Still with  Suez,Israel and France and a new PM she is quite busy.And she can watch TV all night.
Britain realises it is no longer the Superpower of the world.
If only people had known that before Brexit 60 years later what a help it might have been
God seems absent but  he’s probably in the jungle with the wild animals.
