If you want me I'm HERE Said the Tiggers cat one day But don't hold me Too near Oh he neglected to say With an indignant Meow "You should know my now For cat's sake can't you tell When all is not well I've this paralysing fear When you hold me too near" He said in one breath As if scared to death But no it's not all true As I'll explain to you Cos the Tiggers cat was a tailless cat Yes a little self conscious was he Never bothered with certain catty things Like milk or cheese nor even a she But he wasn't slow to let you know That you were being a bit bold No matter who when him you threw Out there in the cold "I may be a Tiggers Tom cat" he painfully meowed and said "But when there's snow I'll let you know at the bottom of your bed And perchance if I should want a stroll out there in the night I'll scratch and scrake until you wake so don't put up a fight. Cos there's one thing you can't forget One thing that will never fail Upon my soul or an empty bowl YOU helped me lose my tail Although I know it has gone I'm still lucky to be alive I'm proud to be near the maple tree Under the stove at Box 85 ".
