And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps
Muscled, black with steel green eyeSwishing through the rye grassWith thoughts of mouse and apple pieTail balancing at half-mast
And the mouse police never sleepsLying in the cherry treeSavage bed foot warmerOf purest feline ancestry
Look out, little furry folkHe's the all night working catEats but one in every tenLeaves the others on the mat
And the mouse police never sleepsWaiting by the cellar doorWindow-box town crierBirth and death registrar
With claws that rake a furrow redLicensed to mutilateFrom warm milk on a lazy dayTo dawn patrol on hungry hate
No, the mouse police never sleepsClimbing on the ivyWindy roof top weathercockWarm blooded night on a cold tile
The mouse police never sleepsThe mouse police never sleepsThe mouse police never sleeps...
