Merlin the Magic Cat

His mere “meow” is like a thunder that roars above and under; all the rats tremble in fear whether he is far or near. He’s got eyes that are like flashlight that shine bright in complete darkness; he does not fear the creep of twilight for he’s as brave as the angels. Just like a great warrior he fights the rats with wit and valor, he’s like a knight in shining armor, just like the wizard of King Arthur. He fights the rats so they won’t cast a scourge that rots the flesh; he’s like a guardian in a fortress that saves a “damsel in distress”. He entertains me like a clown to wipe the sadness and the frown, he cheers me up when I am down, he makes my fear and worries gone. I feel secure when I’m beside him, more so during the evening; he’s like the anchor of my dream for he guards me when I’m sleeping. Every morning, I see him jumping to the ground down from the ceiling, but what is most inspiring is when he falls, he’s still standing. Oh! Merlin the magic cat, he is the fear of every rat, for his magic makes a blast, it casts a spell that does not last.
