  3. 9 cat pawems

    (1) a cat's tale

    Grandad Cat
    curls his tail
    and wants to tell a tale
    to his GrandKits Cats
    He claws them before him
    and he meows a catchy tune
    that he shall
    tell them a tale

    But little Toby
    he purrs:
    No, Grand – you're such a bad story-teller
    cos you only have
    one tale


    (2) cats in a boat

    …meow, meow, meow…

    nine cats in a boat
    and one jumps off
    and there’s none left
    in the boat in the same instant –
    anyone going to ask why?

    No, this is no conundrum
    in nuclear physics
    It’s basic cat life -
    they were all copycats

    …meow, meow, meow…


    (3) claw enforcement

    Tomcat has his breakfast
    of Mice Krispies
    and reads his mewspapers
    when Molly comes out with a snarl
    in her purr-ple pajamas

    she claws him all over
    there’s such a caterwauling
    and Tomcat emerges bewildered:
    What? Why?

    She’s upset that all night
    her hubby Tomcat
    called out for Cat Woman in his sleep
    And what do I do with Tomcat
    after this Claw Enforcement? thinks Molly
    Oh, just hiss and make up

    (4) Cat Faculty
    O have you heard? -
    the standards at the
    Faculty of HISStory and Catssics
    are slipping;
    and its esteem
    in the public eye declining
    Have you heard?

    Why?

    Well,
    that Faculty’s
    got too many cheetahs
    That’s why



    (5) Cat Mum's Advice

    said one cat to the other
    at the playground:
    “My mum always advised me
    never to
    climb trees
    For she did say
    very wisely:
    ‘What has bark
    will bite next’”


    (6) Cat Fame

    said one cat to the other:
    “One of these days I’m going
    to the Flea Circus
    and then I’ll be real famous
    cos I’ll steal the whole show!”

    (7) Grammar Kitten

    Grammar Kitten has
    learned well its lessons;
    and of all the marks
    it loves the comma best
    for, as Grammar Kitten explains
    to Ignorant Kitten:
    “a comma is like us cats:
    the comma’s got the clause before the pause
    we’ve got the paws before the claws”

    (8) vowel cat

    the English tutor
    sits with Tommy at the table
    and Sam the cat sits opposite

    today they are practicing their vowels

    every time the teacher
    says: “Tommy, give me a word
    with a vowel or two”
    Sam the cat interjects:
    “Meow…meow…meow!”



    (9) cat luck

    for centuries
    black cats have been
    the subject of blame

    Is it bad luck
    if a black cat follows you?

    Here’s the answer
    to settle this mystery
    once and for all:
    It all depends, if you’re human or mouse
