The Cat That Swallowed the Hat

The hat in the cat, that swallowed it whole

Then jumped in my arms, and he started to grow....

A cain for his paw and taps for his shoes

He then leaned over and whispered

"But have you heard the news?"

I opened my eyes and I lifted my head

Yet the cat was not there; it was a dream, I said

Still what was this news as I climbed out of bed

And opened the blinds, but the trees were all dead....

I looked to my left, then I looked to my right

Not a sound could be heard; I could find no life!?

Jumped in the shower and brushed my teeth

Put on my suit, and then, there appeared a wreath....

But what does it mean, I thought, and what was this dream?

As I stepped out my door, unto a desolate scene ~

I got in my car and I started to drive

Thought to myself, am I the only Soul that's alive?

I drove and drove until the day turned to night

Never passing nor seeing not even one life....

I began to weep as I lowered my eyes, slowly down

Tears upon my cheeks, which fell silent to the ground

Yet then, I heard a voice which spoke softly in my ear....

So I lifted my and I swallowed my tears ~

Tears within my vision that made it ever so clear

Like the cat within my dream, that whispered

"Oh, but the time is so near"....

....“The Cat, That Swallowed The Hat?!”

Let the Cat Out of the Bag...

When you have a secret, it should never be told,
Cause you made a promise that you must uphold;

Promising never to utter a word,
Not one single syllable to ever be heard;

And telling that secret is like breaking a tie,
It is even worse than telling a lie;

Once you let the cat out of the bag, you can’t win,
Cause letting it out is easier than putting it back in!

Change of Heart

Has the mouse now left the house
Or has the cat attacked?
As now it’s quiet in the night
And I wish to go for snack

But, there on counter is the sign
The mouse was not too far
In fact I see the darned critter
Behind that mason jar

It looks so huge, but so deceived
Enlarged through looking glass
Oh, come on cat, get off your butt
Before I kick you in the …wait

I think it’s gone, yes from this world
It lay there ever still
I’ll go and clean it up, just now
While now I have the will

But, there a twitch, oh my it moved
I think it’s still alive
I cannot move any closer to it
Until I’m sure it died

But then I’d feel so evil
I cannot see it pass
I must go save the little guy
Before the cat gets it, at last
