Mr. Time Out Kitty

Caleb, psst, psst, Caleb!
Come to my jungle with me
Quiet as you can be,
Shhhhh, sneaky so no one will see
Yes! Come to my jungle with me!
We can have FUN and play,
And hide up here ALL day,
And look for us they may
Think of what they will say
Tika and Katy have been here too
One time only, said "that'll do"
They hopped and jumped, down they flew
Why don't those girls like anything new?
And Stormy's not a jumpin' guy,
Never been up not even for a fly,
I flicked my tail and said "bye"
Hopping to my place on high
Guess we could invite Lily too
She'd like to play just like you!
It's a quiet day with nothin' to do
So come with me, just you two!
Oh, oh, here comes Mama now
Think she'll notice us? Oh, wow,
Get down quickly, oh but how?
She's all steamed up, gonna have a cow!
Mama's mad and in a rage
Now I'm doin' time out in a cage
What happens next? Read the page,
I might just be here 'til OLD AGE.
Mama:
Does Hooney learn, does Hooney grow?
After all these years, you'd think he'd know
He's always a show off, puttin' on a show
And it is always "into the cage you go"
