Merlin the - Not So - Magic Cat

[This was my first effort for Mystic Rose
rose’s recent ‘Merlin The Magic Cat’ 
contest. I wasn’t overly keen and it didn’t 
have ‘Meow’ in it.  I thought I’d deleted it, 
but as I found it lurking in my files I thought 
I’d share it…]

Merlin was a magic cat
He grew up in a council flat
On a mat is where he sat
In a very pointy hat

Merlin was a fatty cat
But as he had a spell for that 
He waved his wand and said “Howzat”
And then was thinner than a gnat

And so to recap…

The cat in a hat on a mat in a flat
Was fat, said, “howzat,” and was thin as a gnat.

L Milton Hankins October 23, 2022 at 6:27 PM I got it! Instead of "But as he had a spell for that" you could made it "But as he had a meow for that," and you'd've had a winner for sure! As it was, you had one anyway. I wish I could've written a winner, which I didn't!

Beryl Edmonds October 23, 2022 at 5:38 PM I want that magic cat sat on a mat - To wave his wand o’er me and say ‘Howzat” - So that I become thinner than a gnat - An easy way for one to shed the fat…… Belle Terry Flood October 24, 2022 at 11:08 AM Hey, Belle, no one wants to hug a bag of bones. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

Jenna Logan October 23, 2022 at 4:15 PM Not to offer negative criticism…. I’ll repeat my comment on your winner. Good thing you ditched this one. ;) Jenna Logan October 23, 2022 at 4:49 PM No you’re not. Hugs for you. Terry Flood October 23, 2022 at 4:28 PM I agree entirely. Jenna. Posted this in a light hearted ‘what kind of fool am I’ kind of way. No, no, you haven’t hurt my feelings, I’m always to be found sobbing in a corner about this time of night! ;-)
