Unusual Friends

There once lived a cat

Who skidded on a mat

And sat on a rat

To survey his land

And called for his bat

To find the bad lad

The cat’s friend a doggy

Climbed on a scooty

To look for her daddy

To play in the toy factory.

The cat caught the lad

Lurking near his bath

He called the lad’s dad

And sent him straight back

To his mummy

Who gave his tummy

A well deserved whack

Meantime the doggy

Found her daddy

Stuck in a trolley

In the market for doggies

After yanking him out

She entered the toy factory

And came out

Looking like a shaggy

The mystery of her shagginess

Is now revealed

She skidded into a vat

Filled with gooey slime

She looked like something hideous

Which made someone faint Oh my!

The workers ran helter skelter

The sight was not pretty

She looked in the mirror

And saw the horror

She fainted on the spot

Onto a bundle

Of gift wrapping paper

And came out like a shiny Christmas gift.
