Coventry Mary

Coventry Mary out for a walk,
Saw a cat and stopped for a talk
''Hi little cat', Mary said
Stroked her tail and stroked her head.
Then lifted the lid of a wheelie bin,
Picked up the cat and threw her in!

The saga of Mary Bale

Mary Bale went for a walk one day,
Saw a cat and the cat went, 'Hey! '
'Hi', said Mary and gave it a stroke,
And then threw it in a wheelie bin, just for a joke!

'Bye little cat', Mary said,
And on her heels she turned and fled.
Not a hint of emotion on her face,
As the cat sat in it's confined space.

The street was quiet and the day was hot,
The cat exclaimed, 'I like this, NOT! '
No food, No water, alone in the dark,
All this grief And just for a lark!

Many hours later, the Mann's jumped to their feet,
Opened a window to stifle the heat,
Hearing her master the cat cried, 'Hey! '
And this was the end of her awful day!

Ellie's story

Day after day she stays in the house,
The television’s always switched on,
She seeks a way out,
Wants to scream and to shout,
To lose herself in a song.

A job would be handy,
Some money would too,
For oh if she had it,
The things she could do?

She would love to be married,
Have her own place,
Kids in the garden,
And plenty of space.

With a dog in a basket,
And a bird in a cage,
A fun loving husband,
And a regular wage.
