Them berries are sweet,
don’t poke the cat!
The sky is smiling,
But I feel like a brat.
Whose job is it to
keep this world together?
I’d volunteer
but I’m already a member.
My plum morning star,
them berries are sweet,
don’t poke the cat
till I’ve had something to eat.
This roundabout song
is a whole different matter,
I wish I could just
eat a cheese platter.
With friends to my right,
in easier times,
though the berries stay sweet,
And the cat’s on my side
