Cleo and the Leprechaun

Cleo the Cat was roaming around,
In a forest glen one day.
She came upon a curious sight,
A leprechaun at play.
 
He was dressed in green with shoes of black,
And he was only one foot tall.
He was playing a pipe and dancing a jig,
While Cleo watched it all.

Cleo's feral instincts,
Kicked in with quite a punch.
She licked her chops and waited,
Anticipating lunch.

The leprechaun danced unaware,
And before he could get suspicious,
Cleo pounced and caught her prey -
She purred: "He was magically delicious!"
