You have to approach her slowly
Try not to let her see you
Sneak quietly behind her
And maybe tiptoe too
You have to crouch behind her
And softly say her name
And when she starts to walk away
You POUNCE like it’s a game
Then hold her close beside you
And pet her ’til she’s calm
That’s how you catch a chicken
Yep, I’m the expert, Mom!
