Who is that Dapper Pirate Captain Tom Cat
Who is that? The cats-in-waiting asked Queen Cat.
“Captain Tom, don’t give him an inch of your time.”
But he was handsome, dapper, and smelled of the sea.
They sensed tuna, salmon and cod on his fur.
He was truly irresistible, so they crowded around him.
“Ladies!” Captain Tom said. “There is enough of me for everybody.”
“You are a dog,” the queen told him.
The cats-in-waiting gasped.
How dare she speak to this magnificent Tom this way.
It’s okay, the queen said with a wink, he is my brother.
That made it all better actually, and understandable too.
