One up the curtain,
Another at my feet,
Another climbing up my leg,
And the others took my seat!!

The eldest is outside,
Searching for his prey,
He’s been missing over a week,
I hope that he’s okay.

The one climbing up the curtain,
Well now he’s torn it down,
He’s gone to hide in the bathroom,
While I hang it up and frown.

The one at my feet is now asleep,
Curled upon my lap,
His sister’s come to join him,
They’re both taking a nap.

The one that’s on my seat,
Well now he’s at my feet,
Playing with a toy he’s found,
Squeak, squeakity, squeak!!

The patter on my lino,
Of these beautiful five cats,
Let’s me know that I’m at home,
And where my family’s at!!
