Dashing Jumpers Denzel was a bit grumpy about Christmas but his Human loved it dearly She always knitted him a smart winter jumper; a tradition done yearly This year she caught a terrible cold and was forced to her bed before it was complete Most upset she cried Christmas Eve until exhaustion took her finally to sleep Resting by the fire Denzel reluctantly stretched his front legs and then the back He heaved himself out of his comfy bed as his joints moaned and cracked This called for reinforcements and he knew just who to see He snuck out the back door and trotted round to number 3 He pawed at the window and up onto the windowsill jumped a large ginger cat Molly opened the window and Denzel squeezed through so they could chat He explained the situation and she quickly hatched a clever plan Denzel followed her into the garage where she led him under a dusty van There in an old carpet bag lived a huge family of little brown mice Molly was too old for chasing things so they all loved her for being so nice They were all too happy to help and, in a trice, they gathered wool and threads they spread out different coloured wool and threaded onto the needle heads As Denzel laid down, they worked so fast, clink- clink as they weaved in and out The mice sang sweetly as a row of delicately stitched woolly snowmen appeared When it was finished, they gathered up the wool with claps and cheers Thanking them, Denzel went home yawning as he settled back by the fire Next morning, he jumped on the bed showing off his rather splendid attire Such shrieks of pleasure at this Christmas surprise filled his little heart full of joy He was rewarded with a bowl full of plump juicy turkey for being such a thoughtful boy All artwork and poems <a href="https://www.lovecountrybysarahreilly.co.uk/copyright-statement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">copyright protected by the Artist.
