Mary Pickford and Samsung
Mary Pickford and Samsung, her most reliable cat
Knew that talkies were going to be where it’s at
She confided to her pet and said I cannot wait!
These movies sound wonderful said cat. Incredibly great!
Don’t tell the others, Mary whispered. I am in the know.
Of course, they will not be here in time for December’s snow.
But the inventors are almost ready to have a huge reveal.
Keeping the secret, a bit longer would be no big deal.
Of course, Mary had no way of knowing her cat was a snitch.
He ran around town telling others about the movie time pitch.
The other cats did not believe him. They called him a liar.
This made him really angry; his face was quite red, on fire.
When the talkies finally came out, the TV sets were alive.
The cats began shrieking. Some hid under the couch in a dive.
I told you said Samsung, all smug, and he rejoiced about it.
Mary never knew he had shared the secret, or she’d had a fit.
