I am the cat that swallowed a rat.
I’d also eaten too much dinner.
But you must agree
that I’m a real “He”,
I can be both, macho and thinner.

Remember the vet, the guy she’d just met,
who’d promised to make me leaner?
He could suck out my fat,
get rid of the rat,
and I would be an all round winner!

Instead of the vet, guy I hardly met,
Put his hand where no one should reach!
I bit on his thumb
I bet it’s still numb.
A lesson I was bound to teach.

***

So if you ever reach down, where you cannot see,
and lose a finger or thumb, don’t ever blame me.
If you must do so, do it when cat’s a kitten.
And even then, if you're wise, you’ll wear a thick mitten.
