Help with an old poem, please!

It's so frustrating when you remember something that no one else does. I've just sat through all three series of Pathfinders in Space which are now on dvd. I spent @ 45 years asking people if they could remember the series and the wonder of modern technology brought them to me. I'm still searching for a book called Lad, a Dog that I can picture in my head but want so much to see again. The books are still available but the picture book I had as a child doesn't seem to exist any more.

No honestly, it has no saucy content! This cat does all the sort of things cats do, including scratching a leather chair and fighting on the roof tops. It has a somewhat Edwardian tone to my ears but as my DH is only 70, he would not have been around then!

I suspect it may have been from a children's rhyme book. Well, you never know, someone out there in Gransnet Land may know it. In the meantime, thank you all for your input.

Sounds like something by Rambling Syd Rumpo t'me ...

Agree, Jess, but if Sue's DH can quote most of this particular song, and she hasn't indicated that the content was risqué in any way, I assumed that it wasn't.

But there were a lot of risque rhymes and songs used in the music halls

Ladies! I think you're getting carried away here (isn't the Convoluted Insult Generator enough for you? ). It sounds from Sue's post that it was a perfectly innocent rhyme about a pussy-cat, although obviously its origins are lost in the mists of time.....

I could fill in the gaps, but I wont, I suspect it was made up by one of his friends in school, as we did.

I would think the juxtaposition of "pussy" and "smut" might bring up some interesting Google results....

Sorry, Sue it isn't ringing any bells with me.
