Dick and His Cat

Dick and his cat
 I was in the deep depth of youth
sitting in a library struggling through
Dick Whittington and his cat.
Looked the fable up on Wikipedia
and was disappointed,
Dick and his cat were different 
from my recollection
I had the cat and Dick walking 
to London 
In my fantasy world, the story was
much richer, so I will stick
to my version
