When Cat's away on holiday I try to have a ball;
This year I called up all the mice to hold a festival,
For singing, dancing, telling jokes and I could guarantee,
Like every year, they would be safe, my parties are cat free.
They came in thousands to this feast; it wasn't seen before
And many of the mice performed - the crowd kept shouting: "More!"
Then finally it was my turn - the podium was mine!
I grabbed the microphone to sing an aria divine,
When suddenly we heard meowing from the garden house;
The alley cats burst out in catcall, teasing this poor mouse.
On top of that the dogs joined in, it started with some growls,
But soon enough they shouted at the cats with wolfish howls.
No need to tell you folks these days I only play guitar,
From now on I sing in the shower, dreaming I'm a star,
And next time when the cat's away it's gonna be a treat:
A catcall-howling-concert-broadcast, live from my own street!

I checked out the mouse - he's so cute! But I've seen a few of these pictures now and it worries me how they get them to pose -they don't tie bits of these animals to the props do they? Or do you think they are doctored in some way? Anyway I like your poem!
