Only then will I head off home
And sort out my wet hair with a comb
I'll try a new style
With which I'll beguile
Everyone wherever I roam

I'll charm everybody I meet

Their story became a best seller
A book one would hide in the cellar
I read it at night
Until it was light

My friend Lady Anne was his boss
A woman who gave not a toss
She loved him so well
She quite liked the smell
At least he didn't smell like his hoss.

(Poetic license with pronunciation)

A gamekeeper one fancied me
He thought I was his cup of tea
But he wouldn't bathe, alas
No scent of fresh mown grass
Just quite a strong smell of stale wee

(sorry for being disgusting and lowering the tone)

He’s willing to sleep in the shed
His man cave complete with a bed
He does as he’s told
Now, shall I be bold
And allow myself to be led…

At household repairs I’m inept
So a handy man I have kept
Looks after his tools,
Doesn't tolerate fools
Well... you'd all want one I expect.

But got out my pack full of Dreamies
No one can call me a meanie
The cat's favourite treat
Is a piece of red meat
But the chicken kind makes him steamy.

I once had a cat who just left
And I was just feeling bereft
He came back one day
On the first of May
I thought "surely, it was a theft"
