Merlin the Magic Cat
Merlin The Magic Cat
They said they chose Merlin early last month
Because of the colour of his ears,
Yet Merlin’s been stalking the gardens around here
For almost thirty-nine years!
They said magic was a myth, a story, a fable
But he and I both know that’s not the case,
If it were, would you mind explaining
Exactly how a cat ends up on a date?
They said he liked to go hunting at night
Just like any other average tabby.
When I told them last night I met a ‘Merlin’ at a bar
All they said was ‘how uncanny!’
They said magic was a silly concept
Something invented to wow little kids,
Meanwhile, behind them, I’m watching Merlin finish a triple axel
And land gracefully in the splits!
They said lately they kept misplacing things
Like chains, and watches, and rings.
Well, the Merlin who bought me that drink last night
Undoubtedly loved him some bling-bling!
They said magic was imaginary
There was no proof, no way, no how.
Then right there and then Merlin transformed into a man
They screamed ‘Merlin’, he answered ‘MEOW!’
