Cat On a Wooden Box

There’s a cat on a wooden box meowing With a purring ability inside The cat smiles when he sings, ever knowing Having a crowd around him, they abide Some listen to his insidious tones There’s a cat on a wooden box meowing Some dogs are nearby, just chewing their bones Sending some cats away, others hiding Cat’s in the center with the cats crowding Meowing to his own rhythm, singing high There’s a cat on a wooden box meowing The group of cats within, to him don’t lie Each saying his prowess is beyond cool The group tries to sing, and with him leading He’s the cat’s meow, even while he drools There’s a cat on a wooden box meowing

oh, this is so fun, Russell. I love the idea of that cat up there being so cool in front of the other cats! The cat's meow, good expression to use! about the nursery rhymes I parodied, They were baa baa black sheep, little bo peep and mary had a little lamb.
