Cartoonist Theory

Start with a circle, then add a square,
A few more lines and you've got some hair.
He needs some feet and a couple of hands,
This poor guy's made of rubber bands!

Scribble, squiggle, jot it down,
Two eyes, a nose, and look -- a clown!
Add lots more hair, remove the hat,
Draw a tail, and presto! -- a cat!

Let's make him wave - just flip the pages,
Cartoons have made me giggle for ages!
Drop a bomb, blow him up,
YUCK! His tail is in my cup!

Get an eraser, that tail is gone,
Shorten his legs, they're far too long.
Erase the whiskers, add a hat,
Remove some hair and look, no more cat!

Some paint to the cheeks, a few lines on the face,
A cartoonist's mind is a wonderful place.
But for now I must say au revoir, farewell,
While I fish some paws from my inkwell!
