A possum fell in love with a coon
And they spooned by the light of the moon
In pet igloo they snoozed
Cause the cat took a cruise
They hoped he wouldn’t come home too soon!
Well, Ole Blackie the cat was real fat
So, his pet food he shared “How ‘bout that!”
all ate from his bowl
Or so I am told
By the jay in the trees bold chit chat.
Ah true love did we see in the three
the Jay thought why not let them all be
he stopped all the gossips
the biddy’s and trollops
and encouraged this equality!

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 quite long
I said shoo, I said scat
Get away from here you darn cat.
The more persistent his meowing became
Look cat I am not to blame
You live in the alley out back
I will say shoo, I will say scat.
I said shoo, I said scat
Go and find a rat
Quit meowing it's time for bed
Go and find your supper instead.
The bag is empty
Air a plenty
The cat is out
Rise a shout
The cat is out
On the run
Pressure mounts
The setting sun
The cat is out
The night chills
Find kitty we shout
She missed a meal!
The cat is found
In the clouds
She passes by
Watch her fly
Kittie died...
This was done by....ApatheticMe...
Remember that cat named Garfield?
You know, that big ole lazy cat?
He slept all day, eatin' nothing but lasagna
Til he woke up one day fat
Well, did you know he was a secret agent?
Yep, he worked for the C. I. A
See, no one would ever suspect a cat
And they just wouldn't try to get away
He was a real cool cat, as cool cats go
Nothing like that fake, "James Bond"
See, Garfield traveled all over the world
Even to England, you know across the pond?
He had some real cool gadgets too
That was hidden inside his paws
That cat even had a death ray
But only if he extended his claws
They didn't have to pay him money either
Lasagna, was his only price
See, there's a reason, that's all he'd ever eat
Cause he was just to fat to catch mice
Garfield was also popular with the ladies
It was something about his tail
But, see, that wasn't the only reason
He'd share his lasagna as well
Well, that's my story, he's retired now
They say he just got too fat
But before I go, there's just one more thing
Do you like my drawing of a cat?
