Because catty cat
I really don’t want you doing that
You shouldn’t even be up there
So come down here
That thing up upon that shelf
Was perfectly happy left to itself
There was no need to put it on the floor
Knocked about by your well-aimed paw
You have loads of toys with which to play
My things need to simply stay
Where they are and have always been
On full display to be seen
By me whenever I steal a glance
Not dashed about as if by chance
They’ve been up there for many a year
Until you decided it was time to clear
A space upon the coveted shelf
So you could have it to yourself
Happy until again you’re bored
Then goodness knows what else’ll be floored
