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!
