Ode to One of Helen's Cats

I have a lovely pussy cat
I call her Fancy Free
And she purrs to me most beautifully
when sitting on my knee
And when I go out walking
She is waiting there for me

So I put her little harness on
to keep her by my side
In case she makes a sudden dart
at something she has spied.

And then we stroll down to the park
and sit there in the sun
And often folk will stop and stare
to see a puss cat sitting there
But they don't know what she means to me
my dear little Fancy Free
