Merlin the Magic Cat

Merlin The Magic Cat They said they chose Merlin early last month Because of the colour of his ears, Yet Merlin’s been stalking the gardens around here For almost thirty-nine years! They said magic was a myth, a story, a fable But he and I both know that’s not the case, If it were, would you mind explaining Exactly how a cat ends up on a date? They said he liked to go hunting at night Just like any other average tabby. When I told them last night I met a ‘Merlin’ at a bar All they said was ‘how uncanny!’ They said magic was a silly concept Something invented to wow little kids, Meanwhile, behind them, I’m watching Merlin finish a triple axel And land gracefully in the splits! They said lately they kept misplacing things Like chains, and watches, and rings. Well, the Merlin who bought me that drink last night Undoubtedly loved him some bling-bling! They said magic was imaginary There was no proof, no way, no how. Then right there and then Merlin transformed into a man They screamed ‘Merlin’, he answered ‘MEOW!’
