It's three days till Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature is stirring,
Not even a mouse.

My pillow awaits me,
in my big bed alone.
I hope at least one of my five cats
Joins me, so that I am not all alone.

With five cats on the prowl,
No mouse would dare enter
my home and domain,
Even after two days of flooding rain.

So its off to bed I go,
With confidence high
That the only tracks on me in the morn,
Will be from and cats and I.
