My neighbour’s marmalade cat, though fond of fish
Steals all milk, from my dish
Like the Gurkha’s whistling sound
The whole night, it’s meowing around,
To get rid of him, my only wish.
He did bring home, his prized catch
Here and there, unwanted splash
So, I tossed him among the hounds.
My neighbour’s marmalade
Back home, what do I get to watch?
Many mice dance, dine and dash.
As if in a battle ground
Neighbour’s Tabby did leap, impound.
Now with all tenderness, I cherish
My neighbour’s marmalade
