cardinal aristocat
Cardinal aristocat strode into the priest’s hall
No one uttered a sound, they were stunned after all
He had never looked this fit, this fine, this brave or tall
His regular plain monk’s tunic had made him feel small.
So, you decided to join us after all, said the priest’s cat
She was a mean beast, a hisser, a scratcher, and fat
Cardinal aristocat ignored her as if she were a mouse or gnat
He had come to show off his ensemble and his new hat.
