The Arrival

Won’t you let me in

Dear friend?

It’s rather cold out here

And there’s a frost that’s beginning

To bite onto my ears

 

Won’t you open the door

Kind sir?

You are passing right by

And there’s no great difference

In the tolerance of you or I

 

Won’t you come this way

Sweet madam?

Take pity on a poor cat

And hold me in your fur-coated arms

Give me a gentle pat

 

Won’t you let them know

Dumb dog?

There’s a king at their door

And he will not take being treated such

And will ask kindly no more!
