I Ate My Cat

It was a cold winter’s night The logs in the fire burning bright The stars shone brightly Soft snow flakes tumbling to the ground A peaceful evening, all in all As I skinned the Cat For a lovely winters’ stew In the oven he baked Whilst I peeled the potatoes Pondering what wine goes well with cat I settled on a nice merlot, tangy sweet Savoring dinner, oh what a treat The oven bell rung! Dinner was done Shocked I was, I woke up with a start My cat stared at me with curious eyes The he turned into a Tiger And its HE who ATE me!!!!!!!!!!
