(When TVs weren’t flat)
Mitten the kitten is head-over smitten
She’s fallen in love with a plush Mickey Mouse
It’s soft as her belly and lives on the telly
The warmestest spot in the house
“You need to know Mickey, I’m thoroughly picky … yet
… I’ve chosen you only from all of the rest
Although you’re quite tattered – you ought to be flattered
Cos Mickey-doll, I am the best!”
“I’m gorgeous, I’m purrfect – just look at my fur flecked
With ginger and grey on a quilt of pure white
You wait till you play with me, Darling you’ll stay with me
Honey, I’m pure dynamite!”
“Forget that chick Minnie, her voice is too tinny
She isn’t deserving of all of your love
So do not deny me, you’ll find when you try me
This Mitten will fit like a glove!”
“You’ve a luvverly house, so refined for a mouse
Invite me, whenever you want and we’ll meet
You needn’t insist for what girl can resist
The seduction of underfloor heat?”
