Edith and Honey by James Purslow
Honey likes children, when they’re quiet as a mouse,
Honey likes children when they’re not in the house.
Edith love cats, she really wants to cuddle
She can never get quite close enough, it leaves her in a muddle.
Honey sees a child and hides under the bed
Or maybe in a cupboard, thatâs what her uncle said.
Edith was really patient and looked all day long.
But Honey kept on hiding she just kept on and on.
Itâs almost Edithâs bed time and honeyâs not yet appeared,
Edith thinks sheâs missed her chance, itâs just as she feared.
Perhaps Honey doesnât like her? She really hoped she did.
She decided to look no more, where the cat was hid.
Now it was her bedtime and she was very sleepy.
She closed her eyes and drifted off, but what was really sneaky
Honey the cat, was slumbering and snoozing under the bed
She climbed right up, onto the pillow and settled by Edithâs head.
First thing in the morning, Edith woke to a surprise,
She could see right next to her, honeyâs big wide eyes.
Honey even let her stroke her, and tickle under her chin
They stayed like this for ages, until her mum came in.
Now Edithâs learned a lesson, if she wants a cat sat on her lap,
itâs to stay quite still, settle down and pretend to take a nap
