Gingerly I stepped over the cat
Who was fast asleep on his sleeping mat.
His eyes blinked when I stepped on his tail,
Opened his mouth and started to wail.
He cried all day and cried all night,
Even the mice knew he wouldn't put up a fight.
They pranced around with all the cheese
Poking and prodding the cat with ease.
One day the cat gave up this depressing act,
And went to take the happy pact.
