Skit, Scat, Scram, Skadattle.
Get, going, and gone.
Won't be back, until the break of dawn.
We sat down town.Wearing a funny frown.
Me and my little lady.In her little night gown.

Skit, Scat, Scram, Skadattle.
Get, going, and gone.
Won't be back, until the break of dawn.
Grabbed some dinner at the...

As I walked a ' black cat crossed my path 
I said shoo, I said scat
He stared, looking me in the eye
As if to ask me why.

It was as if to say "did the cat get your tongue'
I think he did, for his stare was...

The septic stench of desolation;
has followed me into a quagmire
of depression and self-loathing.
And scat-colored walls weep neglect,
upon my fragmented soul.
Like a jigsaw puzzle
missing a few crucial pieces;
my life feels incomplete, jumbled up,
and fallen into decay.
Shadows occupy the empty spaces
where my naive heart harbored
dying dreams and...

Stray cat, cool sleek alley cat,
A vivid tan, with mottled black,
In soft moonlight, creeping back,
To the scented nights of lilac!

One eye of brown, one of blue,
The shadows always welcome you,
And you go where they take you,
And yowl on the starlit avenue!

Pretty cat, you stray alley...

*** Scat, Cat! ***

No!  Cat, don’t paw
That yarn ball
I use to crochet.  Go!
Scat, cat!  You won’t like so
    much 	my scolding you more at all.

Stop!  Scat!  Don’t sit
    on the stove
To warm your legs...

The Cat in a Hat
sat on a mat
(the mat was flat)
when
Pat a bat
who was fat
(a flying rat)
chasing a gnat
(the gnat went zzzat)
dropped in
(splat!)
for a chat
(what a brat)
but
(tit for tat)
was told to scat
imagine that!

(Moral of the story: Uninvited unwelcome)
