<p>"Having lived beach to bar in Ibiza for most of his twenties Sye Sanders returned home in 2008, burnt out and broke. He has since completed a degree in Imaginative Writing at John Moores University and is a popular performer on the Liverpool scene. He collects vinyl and includes Philip Larkin and The Smiths among his influences." (from Sye Sanders' bio, on the back cover of his book published by <a href="http://www.nastylittlepress.org" target="_blank">Nasty Little Press</a>)</p>

We want to keep you safe and sound,<br />
Away from danger all around,<br />
And so at home you'll have to stay,<br />
And live your life some other way<br />
Instead of chasing butterflies<br />
Or birds beneath the bright blue skies.<br />
<br />
Fearless kitty, you could be<br />
A world explorer, wild and free,<br />
Free to hunt just as you wish<br />
Instead of eating from your dish,<br />
But do you know the consequences?<br />
Danger lurks beyond those fences!<br />
<br />
I understand you'd have more fun<br />
While playing underneath the sun,<br />
But just suppose, my precious…

I understand you'd have more fun<br />
While playing underneath the sun,<br />
But just suppose, my precious cat,<br />
A growling dog, a flying bat<br />
Would pounce upon you as you play?<br />
Or someone could take you away!<br />
<br />
So sit upon our window sill,<br />
And see the merry sunshine spill<br />
Its rays upon the world below,<br />
And watch the trees and flowers grow!<br />
Do not wander, do not roam,<br />
Let us love you safe at home.<br />
