The Cats' Protection League


Midnight.

A knock at the door.
Open it? Better had.
Three heavy cats, mean and bad.

They offer protection. I ask, 'What for?'
The Boss-cat snarls, 'You know the score.
Listen man and listen good

If you wanna stay in the neighbourhood,
Pay your dues or the toms will call
And wail each night on the backyard wall.

Mangle the flowers, and as for the lawn
a smelly minefield awaits you at dawn.'
These guys meant business without a doubt

Three cans of tuna, I handed them out.
They then disappeared like bats into hell
Those bad, bad cats from the CPL.

Roger McGough's word play appeals to adults and children alike. Here, the cats from the CPL get nasty.

Recently I discovered that there is a possibility to take a free course English at the Internet. I just typed the word into Google, and I came across a lot of fun sites. This way I found a course on the BBC site. There is link that leads you to online listening lessons. I already did a lot of quizes and made a few lessons. ;)
Unfortunetly the link doesn't work, so I deleted it.
I looked up all the words in this poem and saved them, that way I hope to learn a lot of new words.

Did you ever do an online course?
