OK, so here's a new take on the children's rhyme and game
"We're Going On A Bear Hunt"
(link HERE to Amazon.co.uk for the story book by Michael Rosen & Helen Oxenbury)This game must be played at around 7 a.m.
You have to be in bed, sound asleep before you can begin.
Ready?
Let's go on a Shrew Hunt.....
"We're going on a shrew hunt.
We're going to catch a (very tiny) one.
We're not scared....."
Wardrobe. (peer under with the cat - )
Nope, not there...
Chest of drawers (stare under with the cat - )
Nope, not there...
Bed (scrabble under with the cat - )
Nope, not there...
Stool (cautiously peep behind with the cat - )
Nope, not there...
Bookcase (look behind, yes you've got it, with the cat -)
Nope, not there...
Linen basket (move it to one side.... mind the cat)
Nope, not there...
In my shoes... (pick one up, shake... where's the cat????!!!!! )
EEEK!!!!!
"Quick! Quick! There it goes!"
Sigh.
Needless to say the cat didn't catch it and now I have no idea where said shrew is - apart from somewhere upstairs.
Why Sybil had to bring it in and let it go in my bedroom in the first place will be today's unsolved mystery....

No mystery. It's a gift. She loves you.
ReplyDeleteHa! Gotta love what our cats bring in the house for us, eh?
ReplyDeleteLOL - yes Carolyn, I guess she does - must love me a lot though, we get one every morning (except sadly, they are usually dead)
ReplyDeleteCathy, I suppose I should be grateful that at the moment they are only little shrews....
EEEK, as well! Although it's better than a baby rabbit with it's head chewed off!
ReplyDeleteThanks a bundle Lynn - no doubt I have that to look forward to! :-/
