“Cat Up A Tree” by silly grandpa

I spied a cat up in a tree

It was looking down at me

But when I smiled it turned away

And I didn’t know quite what to say

How’d you get there? I wanted to ask

It must have been quite a task!

I stood looking up from the ground

Wondering how the cat would get down

I didn’t know then, but it wondered too

And obviously did not know what to do

After both of us stared for quite a while

The cat finally began to smile

“Are you the Cheshire cat?” Was my query

But the feline was becoming weary

“I’ll climb up and help you down!”

But then the cat began to frown.

I took no mind and started up

And just as I got up to the top

The feline jumped upon my back

Then ran down to the ground

…and that’s a fact

I rested on the skinny top limb

By the way the treed cat was a him

Now I was the one who began to frown

Because I had no way to get myself down

I was feeling really really dumb

When the local firemen had to come

And help me get down from that tree

Then the cat began to laugh at me

But that was not the story’s end

The once treed cat became my friend

We joked about the tree and me

Stuck on the top of that tall tree

It’s a wonderful thing when a friend is found

But from now on we’re both staying on the ground
