tempus fugit

By ceridwen

Cat burglar!

Can you see him?
There are rich pickings for the light-clawed in Hampstead and good livings for resident felines.
Down the road you can buy organic, natural pet food at £2.50 a tin, with names like Wild Campfire Stew and Goose and Duck Feast with Fruit, while freshly minced free-range chicken is available in freezer packs for privileged pussies.

Macavity’s a Mystery Cat: he’s called the Hidden Paw—
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime—Macavity’s not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there’s no one like Macavity,
He’s broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime— Macavity’s not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air—
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity’s not there!
