* TIDDLES HAS A PROBLEM…


Tiddles has a problem –
Yes, he has a lot to lose!
Although he’s soft and furry –
He’s addicted to the booze!!
He drinks a pint of whiskey…
He does it everyday!
Becomes a tad effeminate…
Yet disputes that he is gay!

Tiddles has a problem –
With the string of gals he’s left…
All the furballs that he’s fathered…
Without funding – quite bereft!
A beer boy, lagered love cat!
He just doesn’t have a clue!
Doesn’t come now when they call him…
Not the kitten they once knew…

Tiddles is a problem –
Now the kids don’t like their pet!
There’s been whispers from the parents –
He will have to see a vet!
But Tiddles doesn’t notice…
As he snorts a line of coke…
Laps another milky cocktail…
Enjoys the sun and lights a smoke…

Tiddles hides his problem…
In the garage, quaffing ale!
He thinks that no-one knows but –
You can see it in his tail!
Hides his empties in the garbage!
Smokes his spliff late, dead of night…
His fur is going yellow…
Where once was snowy white!

Tiddles has a problem –
Fear, it’s making him real sick…
He’s got a glass of vodka…
He necks it down real quick!
Oh dear – poor pussy pussy…
Laid now flat upon his back…
A feline alcoholic…
With a sudden heart attack!!

Too much beer and smoking…
Did Tiddles lasting harm…
When he slipped away, was sozzled…
Gently purring - very calm…
No longer has a problem…
No more a secret vice…
Tiddles chose a reckless lifestyle…
When he should have stuck to mice…
