ME AND MY CATERPILLAR

I was sat on my cabbage leaf

Minding my P`s and Q`s.

Also on my cabbage leaf

Was a caterpillar with the blues!

He was very hungry and very scared

He`d been waiting there for ages

Pretending not to be there.

So there waiting, he just sat!

Because on a chair sat Mr Fat Cat!!

Mr Cat was sunning himself with care

Quite nice and comfy on his big soft chair.

He`s a big fat hairy thing

With lots of sharp teeth and claws.

He`s also, almost, the size of a horse.

"If I wait here quietly, the caterpillar said!

"He won`t notice me!

Then when he`s gone, I can climb down and be free!"

So he curled up tight

As small as he could be

And prayed to Mother Nature herself.

" Oh look!, she said, I think Mr Caterpillar needs lots of help!"

So she sent a little buzzy bee

Who was all stripes and buzz.

That cleverly scared the cat up a tree.

See patience is a thing that Mr Caterpillar has

To time and time again, escape, from Mr Fat Cat.
