I Caught Myself a Kitty Cat!

I Caught Myself a Kitty Cat!
Quizmo LaGrande

I caught myself a kitty cat!
I’m on top of the freaking dome!
How many, many times have they
Unfeathered my small home!

I’ve planned and well pre-capered
This kitty cat’s last coup,
Studied Tweetie and Road Runner
Good ole Foghorn Leghorn too.

It’s been quite a lengthy ploy
But my means has reached its end;
That cat never once realized
I’m not pussy’s feathered friend.

He thought he could entice me,
As he wiggled and he whined,
To dine with me for supper—
Had he thought I had no mind?

For months I hacked and sawed
With my tiny birdie beak,
And pried one wrung to loosen,
I just prayed it wouldn’t creak.

“Here, pretty kitty, time to dine,”
I cunningly sang to the beast
The cat came in and slammed the door
Licking chops, prepared to feast.

But once he was in, a stuck lot he got,
Held fast by his own greedy plan.
As I flittered free, the look on his face
Was that of a gas-bloated man!
