THE PET CAT

Once I had a Cat,

Which ate a lot of rats,

When all rats in our house it ate,

It drank all the milk we had.

Mother gave him a thrashing,

And pushed the poor cat out,

It went looking furious,

As if saying, “I’ll come back!”

It accidentally fell into the dustbin,

And a truck came at that time,

It hit the dustbin so hard,

It went rolling into the city in no time!

I looked for him all over,

Until I found him at the market,

Someone saw my cat and took it away,

And I kept shouting, “Hey, that is my pet!”

I went  to the police,

When I saw a paper,

On it was written “4^th street, Waves Town”,

And the name behind was “Napier”.

I went to the town,

It took me an hour,

I rang the bell outside,

And said “That cat is mine”

The man politely gave it to me,

Said that this cat,

Was his

Because he had bought it,

I controlled myself and said,

“You keep your cat,

I don’t want it.”

The man became joyous and took back his cat.
