Tomcat Tomcat Yearns to change his stars Posing in a photo For his feline memoirs Tomcat Teatime Wants to rise above his station Makes the most of wares Whilst the owner’s on vacation Tomcat Top Cat A King among kings With keen anticipation of What high-life living brings Tomcat Tomcat Soon to feel he’s played the clown When he finally realizes That his book is upside down!
