Puss In Boots

The miller’s third son was disappointed to inherit a mere alley cat.
He did not realize the trickery and deceit under this creature’s hat.
Puss in Boots could outmaneuver committees, clubs, king and queen. 
This anthropomorphic genius was the best present the son had ever seen.

The princess’s hand in marriage was easily given after this wise cagey cat.
Pulled a trick on the king and his coach, that was healthy, tricky and phat.
The Marquis of Carabas’ clothes were stolen, he told the royals that day.
The miller’s third son was amazed when the princess whisked him away.
