Still Delaying His Purchase of a Cat
Watched by a rat
As he snored in a mat …
Just like the rat
Abominably fat …
Still wearing a fanciful hat
He’d for it parted with a bat:
To many witnesses “A Good Bargain”
To a Smarter Few, “No Loss, No Gain” …
And Fat Sleeper still had an unfinished fish:
Just an hour ago his dinner wish
And right now a rat’s collecting wish
Especially as he’d held it and it seemed childish!
“But how possible by a rat?”
Sadly, neither possible a wake-up pat
And Statement of its Rat Purpose
After interrupting human repose!
There, a brainstorming just stood or sat,
Merely self consoling that Mr. Fat
Was still delaying his purchase of a cat.
