She sent him to buy her A can of sardines. But the cat ambled back With a bagful of beans. She sent him to buy her A packet of cheese. But the cat reappeared With a carton of bees. She sent him to buy her A brisket of beef. But the cat hurried home With an Indian chief. She sent him to buy her A dish of ice cream. But the cat skated in With a whole hockey team. She sent him to buy her A plate of spaghetti. But the cat strutted up With a bride and confetti. She sent him to buy her A thermos of tea. But the cat waddled back With a dinosaur's knee. The fridge was soon bulging, And so was the shelf. So she phoned for a hot dog And fetched it herself.
