Rantin' Like a Fool

There was an old cat who thought he was cool Rantin' til it made him look like a fool I heard some folks say "He's a motley stray" Hissin' 'bout stuff just like a right paw tool Black cats ran him out of their neighborhood Talkin' smack like he lived in Hollywood He sat on the fence Tellin' us we're dense Gruff Gus, said he's always misunderstood White felines laughed at him behind his back Cuz Gus lived on the wrong side of the track They held a meetin' Without the cretin I heard them whisperin' the word, 'bushwhack.' So the story goes, Gruff Gus disappeared American Tabbies gleefully cheered Something had transpired Gus was undesired He's mortified that his head had been sheared

Nice group of limericks Jenna, but something tells me it’s not about a cat. Have a great day. John

Always listen to that something called ‘intuition,’ J. It’s usually correct. Thanks for reading me.
