Midnight Jack and Alice Galileo

There were six little kittens; some older than the others
They'd gotten lost; were taken from their mothers
The flood came down from the paddocks all around
And they were so lucky; for they were inside
The water rose and frightened they were
But they survived to tell their tale!
Six little kittens all wet and cold
Had to wait overnight; but finally were cuddled
And washed and warmed and fed and groomed
Then they relaxed as calmness ruled
And finally the day when they travelled afar
Poor Jack and Alice
Hated that trip; the car so rocky and rolly
Made them so sick that they smelled unholy!
Finally they got to that place
Where new lives were found
To new homes they were bound!
Little Alice fell asleep on Simone's warm lap
And there she dreamt of life so sweet
As she went to her home far up the street!
And there at last she was happy to find
Her new home and new life as Galileo!
Now Jack; he had to wait a while
Until his new kids arrived in style!
Then he met Carlos and Enrique
And there he found a new family!
But the car trip started awfully
He didn't want to go inside
He'd already had enough of car rides
To last one of his nine lifetimes!
But finally off they went
And from then on he was known as Midnight!
Now back on the farm in Sedan along the track
Very wet and muddy still; poor little Tigger got so ill
So off to heaven he did go; taken up by angels you know!
So now only three were left!
There was Mary and Molly and Jasper too
Three little kittens playing outside
Enjoying the sunshine without a cloud
Happy little kittens playing together
Following their new mum
Into the yard and along the roads
As she went walking to exercise
Her two little dogs called Amy and Kia!
