well wishes on the door mat

a string of lights, adorns the door

inside a pile of house cats

leaving litter on the floor

a card left for the postman

reads, "please, don't ask and please, don't tell"

"I don't know when I'll return again

cause I couldn't take the smell"

well, the postman called the coppers

who swiftly broke down my front door

and it looked like there'd been robbers

or some kind of pillow war

the trash overflowed the trashed cans

three squirrels were living in the tree

decorations were out of hand

as the cats sang out of key

well, the sight was so amazing

that somebody called the press

and the pictures were hair raising

not to mention, quite a mess

so, I think I might just stay here

a little longer, at the beach

you take care of the cats, dear

at least for now, I can't be reached
