Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat (Poetry)

“Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been ?”
                “I’ve been on an island so perfect and green.”
“Oh, pussy cat, pussy cat, where did you stay ?”
                “In a hut on the beach for a year and a day.”

“Pussy cat, pussy cat, could you not phone ?”
                “It was beautiful there, and so peaceful alone.”
“Oh, pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you miss ?”
                “I had all I needed, and plenty of fish.”

“Dear pussy cat, pussy cat, would you go back ?”
                “I would, but just lately I’ve rather lost track ...”
“Oh, pussy cat, pussy cat, can’t you recall ?”
                “It seems like a dream fading distant and small ... ”

“So, pussy cat, pussy cat, what will you do ?”
                “I’ll lie in the sun and spend this life with you.”
“Oh, pussy cat, dear — won’t you feel discontent ?”
                “No, I’ll have time to think where the other eight went.”
