Fluff 'n Stuff lived in a palace
 |
She dined on the finest pate'
 |
She slept upon red velvet cushions
and was pampered in every way
Fluff 'n Stuff spent her days napping
She occasionally went for a stroll
It was not a bad life - never hunger or strife
but to her it seemed terribly droll
For Fluff 'n Stuff longed for adventure,
 |
bright lights
 |
and fast cars
 |
and slow mice
 |
"I'm leaving tomorrow," she said without sorrow
"A move to the city sounds nice!"
 |
So Fluff 'n Stuff packed up her suitcase
She gathered her family and friends
"Goodbye," said the kitty, "I'm off to the city
to be where the fun never ends!"
Fluff 'n Stuff opened the window
The breeze blew her fur out of place
Her ears felt a chill as she sat on the sill
and a drop of rain fell on her faceFluff 'n Stuff turned from the window
and giving her guests but a glance
"Perhaps," she said slowly, "the city's too lowly
for cats of my stature and stance."
