I had some company today
They were scratch-scratching on my door
They really hadn’t come to play
Although I knew what they came for !
There is a shelf about so high
That from the doorway you can see
And on it those treats that you buy
Stuffed into jars filled with goodies.
“Well how are you” said I to them
Two pair of eyes grew very wide
“How nice to see you once again
And would you like to come inside ?”
They never seem to make a mess,
They leave no crumbs upon the floor
They are polite and cause no stress
And leave no paw prints on my door !
