Spidge and Spodge

Spidge was a little ginger cat

His friend was Spodge, who was white and black

They loved being friends and making a fuss

Of each other, and grooming, and eating food up

They awoke with the rising sun one day

Spidge was alert and he wanted to play

But Spodge was still sleepy and wanted to snooze

He yawned and turned over and snored like a moose

Spidge said 'Spodge, wake up, it's time for some games'

But Spodge was fast asleep and lost in his dreams

Spidge jumped on the bed and bounced like a ball

But still Spodgy snored and would not rise at all

Spodge opened one eye and said to his friend

'Spidge, let's play something. I recommend

A special game of hide and seek.

I will count to a hundred and seventy three

You go and hide,

And I will try

To see if I

Can find

You."

So

Spidge tried

To see if he

Could go and hide

Somewhere behind

The sofa, where nobody else could be seen

But in a game of hide and seek

It was a bit obvious that he would end

Up in such a hiding place. Meanwhile, his friend

Curled up once more in a comfortable ball

Cheeky Spodge was not intending at all

To find little Spidge! He was only, it seems

Pretending to play so he could go back to sleep!

Three dreams later, Spodge thought he would choose

To wake up, and decided to eat his catfood

So he miaowed for Spidge, as if to say

That it was time for them to eat then to play

But Spidge didn't hear, because he was curled up

On a cushion and Spidge did not want to wake up!

So little Spodge, who was white and black,

Purred and curled up next to the ginger Spidge cat.
