Top Hat

A toast....... Of elegant swagger From a "cocked" tail On all four legs With moves of Fred Astaire, he graces Your attention with Haughty green eyes and a black satin jacket Hi skits.......he scats And Doobedee Ohblawda Vanishes in a flash Of "pitter-pat-pats" Coooooool.........like a tall sip Of high strung Ice Tea On the hottest day..... He jerks in and out like a plethora of air on water And when night finally scratches His bedpost after his catly capers He disappears - incognito To haberdashery bonnets Stretched to a lopsided max Like a misplaced wig As a crown of honor at the top of his "Chosen's" head Affixed..................like his namesake He's one lofty cat..........
