From this picture, you can probably tell.
I am cat of leisure…with a servants bell!
I pull on the rope, and the bell does ring.
And dad runs along with treats to bring!
Or maybe the room, if I find it too bright.
I will call on dad, to turn down the light!
Sometimes I ring the bell just for a laugh.
I ring it the moment dad gets in the bath!
Down rushes down, full of suds and soap.
I say don’t rush dad…just testing the rope!
