1.      The Queen

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

Hiding under your car

Where I can’t be seen

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

Digging up next doors garden

Leaving proof of where I have been

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

Tried to get a train to London

But no joy, didn’t have a bean

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

Smuggled a ride alongside a daft old woman

Who took me straight to Number ten

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

Thought my luck May be in

But Larry the mouser isn’t that green

 

Pussy cat, pussy cat

Where have you been?

After Larry, I strolled off to see the Queen

But the damn Corgi issue I should have foreseen

 

 

2.      Being free

 

Will I get the chance?

To reflect?

On a life well lived,

Or won’t I suspect?

 

Will dying be quick?

Or linger on?

Will death stalk me?

Or will I simply be gone?

 

Do I have a choice?

Write it in my Will?

No regrets please…

Just let me be still.

 

Or, will it be pain,

Endless remorse,

Countless memories,

No chance of recourse.

 

At the end of the day,

Or night, as it may be,

Do I care?

No.  For I will be free.
