Fumbletips the wuss cat

On the shed lying flat

Soaks the sun throughout the day

Sees a human and runs away


Likes to hide out of sight

Sooner run than try and fight

Small and grey and not too shabby

Stripey shiny little tabby


Kitty treats tempt him near

Overcome his kitty fear

He doesn't hang around for long

A scary sound and he's gone


Mice cause him no problem

Fumbletips will hunt them

If he sees things much bigger

You'll see his retreating figure


Fumbletips will run for cover

and hopes he will not be discovered

under bushes or under cars

never want to run too far

a quick dash from under your gaze

and hide until you go away

if he has to, he will stay

hidden away for the rest of the day


A cat so timid you can't pet

Of that fact you can't forget

Your pussy cat's a wussy cat

And I'll leave that cat at that
