The Rum-Tum Tugger by TS Elliott The Rum-Tum Tugger is a curious cat. If you offer him fesent, he would rather have grouse. If you put him in a house, he would much prefer a flat. If you put him in a flat, then he'd rather have a house. If you set him on a mouse, then he only wants a rat. If you set him on a rat, he'd rather chase a mouse. Yes, the Rum-Tum Tugger is a curious cat, and there isn't any call for me to shout it. For he will do, as he do, do. And there's nothing anything. And there's no doing anything about it. The Rum-Tum Tugger is a terrible bore. When you let him in, he wants to be out. He's always on the wrong side of every door. As soon as he's at home, then he'd like to get about. He likes to lie in the bureau drawer. But he makes such a fuss if he can't get out. Yes, the Rum-Tum Tugger is a curious cat. And it isn't any use for you to doubt it. For he will do, as he do, do. And there's no doing anything about it. The Rum-Tum Tugger is a curious beast. His disablodging ways are a matter of habit. If you offer him fish, then he always wants a feast. When there isn't any fish, then he won't eat rabbit. If you offer him cream, then he sniffs and sneers. For he only likes what he finds for himself. So you'll catch him in it, right up to his ears, if you put it away on the larger shelf. The Rum-Tum Tugger is artful and knowing. The Rum-Tum Tugger doesn't care for a cuddle. But he'll leap on your lap in the middle of your sowing. For there's nothing he enjoys like a horrible model. Yes, the Rum-Tum Tugger is a curious cat. And there isn't any need for me to spout it. For he will do, as he do, do. And there's no doing anything about it.
