I think they took my straight Jacket off for this one, but blame Webster, they're all his cats.



No End to Cats

I wrote this thing but don’t ask me how,
It’s nothing close to the cat’s meow,

But it is a fact there’s more to cat than just the nine known lives,
So I’m gonna tell you some of them and I’ll just Cat-a gor-rize,

There’s jumping from the kitchen cabinets , one would call a vault,
But in the text of my hairy friend, it’s called a cat-a-pult,

A ton of names were given , at least that it would seem,
Would you believe that a cat-a-lytic is one that likes ice cream,

The one that out raced the dogs, I thought was really grand,
The marathon was the greatest , he was known as cat-a ma-ran,

Some cat tails are enjoyable, maybe there’s a short one you can get
With them damn ol’ rockin chairs they’re a cat-a-stropic threat,

Then there’s Cat-a-dromous. He’s predicted cat-a-r-rhining
I think he’s full of Cat-a-falque and been Cat-a bolizing,

Yep, there was a cowboy, a Cat-tel-man he was,
But a case of Cat-a-phoresis had him Cat-echin like it does,

He discovered it was his Cat-a-mount with a swarm of Cat-a-mites,
He treated it with a jug of 90 proof old Bourbon Cat-a-bolite,

Then rode off singing give me a home where the Cat-a-loes roam,
But he was Cat-a-leptic and knew they were already home,

With a Hi Yo Cat-a lyzer and his bird eating Buddy Cat-a- naries
He Cat-a -combed his way to the local Cat-a –plexy Cat-teries,

Bad mistake, not a Cat-tery place but a Cat house he realized ,
And here ensued a problem he was gonna be Cat-a –phorized,

And thrown in a cat-acalsym for a Cat-a- loguing ,
Didn’t wanna Cat-ch anything that might end his cat-a- lizing,

So here you go, it’s time to stow this Cat –a- clysmic thing,
I came to the edge of a Cat-a-ract and finally ran outta string,

Yes there is an ending but it ain’t so nice,
It’s called Cat-a-Gory, remains of the three blind mice!


Think I need a Cat nap or maybe a little Cat nip after this here struggle,
Better yet , leave the bottle, I’ll probably need a double !

I think you've used every Cat in the book.
Except you're the Cat's pajamas, and that's no joke!

You sure made old Webster work for you this time. I couldn't have dun it and made things rhyme. One things for sure, the cat ain't got your tongue, nor your pen, neither. So let's head on down the cathouse and have some fun. That's what cats do when you let them out at night. Might as well join in their delight.

Hey, Tom, your Cat-a-mousing with your readers in Cata-mini tread is definitely Cata-leptic or was it Cat-a-lytic? You're in top form here. Guess you could have run through Webster's to produce a mini-Cat-epic. Let the force be with the ailerophiles (wonder if I got the spelling right?)

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
