Cat Crimes and Misdemeanors
Cat Crimes and Misdemeanors
Five cats came into town in a 57 Chevy
To rob Bank of America with AK-47s
They blew in through the doors with a meow
Demanded attention…now!
No one would pet them
Patrons cringed in fear and fell
This was no ordinary crime
All five were charged with trespassing among other things
And that was just the beginning
Detectives figured out quite quickly
Cats don’t drive old cars, especially kitties
Who have no licenses or opposable thumbs
So they could not pull the triggers
Old widow, Mrs. Peabody, the driver of the Chevy
Took her kittens with her for the drive
A deposit, the only thing on her mind
Thank God it was not a capital or high crime
But she and the cats were fined
Charged with misdemeanors
As for the AK-47s
They were toys strapped to their sides for fun
Cats only meow. They don’t shoot guns
They don't commit crimes
That is, not at this time
