Moses’ Kitty
There was a man named "Moses" down in Arkansas.
He had the strangest cat that you ever saw!
He would sit on the keyboard to stretch his paw!
The prettiest Manx kitty down in Arkansas...
It wasn't any trouble to get Tiger to eat.
He'd run to his bowl when he smelt some meat.
Moses always gave him the biggest treat!
Soon, the cuddle kitty curled 'round Moses' feet.
But it wasn't very long after Tiger ate.
That he at Moses' shoulder did not hesitate.
He would yawn and purr at a rapid rate.
Only one thing would this behavior abate.
B-U-R-P! ! ! B-U-R-P! ! !
That's right! You heard it! B-U-R-P! ! !
He thought his Manx kitty was sweeter than syrup...
That is why, after dinner, Mr. Tiger was burped.
