He Has the Whole World In His Hands

Nero has the whole world in his hands.
He has the whole wide world in his hands.
He is the utmost cat, straight from the sands.
We are amazed at his knowledge of foreign lands.

Meow Meow the merry cat sang about her hero.
That’s a religious song, her cousin told her in cat talk.
No, it’s a song I made up as a tribute to my friend, Nero.
Her cousin pushed her into the water at the end of the dock.

What did you do that for? Meow Meow asked, mad now.
Because no cat has the whole world in his hands.
But guess what? That night Nero came to him with a bow.
Holding the whole world while singing in a Mariachi band.

Haha This was inspired by a cat holding a tiny round planet earth in his hands.
