Sturdy, Curvy, Furry Cats In Hats
Oh to the whoa, Honey, today I saw a trio of funny!
Mercy be, I saw three furry cats that all wore hats;
one was skinny and curvy, two chunky, but sturdy.
Curvy was all a-curtsy in a flat, wacked, black hat
that on top popped a nervy, lopped off, black bat.
One of the chunky cats was pure funky to look at
for his hat seemed to have been picked at
like a muskrat laid splayed on a slat from train splat.
Yes, that cat’s hat slouched, but matched her pouch.
The third in the herd on that jerky street journey,
you know, the other chunky in this controversy,
was quite the brat-cat, a beau putting on a show.
On this cat’s head sat, to my dread, a red bath mat
that was thread as an opera hat in a dread format.
So, honey-bunny, not for love or for money
could I scat catalog these cats in hats,
but I worked at chit-chat while all three sat
and was agog to learn through our dialogue
that their names were Dog, Frog and Hog!
