The Cat's Catmare

Meow I steps out fur a walk won nite

An finds miself in a pittyful plite; Thers a big round head on the gard,in wall, W'i'ch the same has no feat nur boddy at awl! It has flamin ies an feeroshus teathI stairs fur the objict is past beleaf ; Then awl uv a suddint I noes it has came Frum a place w'ich no nice cat wood name !

Rite then an ther I starts tu flea

An sumthin improbabul chases me; It whiffs cold air awl slithery mean, It swishes an flaps but it caint be scene !

In despurrashun I clombs a trea

Wher a voice asts, "who-o-o ?" rite clost tu me ; I leeps tu the ground an ther below

Thet spook's still waitin an reddy tu go !

He runs me around til Ime outta breth

An almost catpletely scairt tu deth !

Then ate black cats extends ther claus

An me an the ghost thing cums tu a paws; I buks the line an emerges thru, But so, catsarn it, the spook does two !

Thers a witch on a brum stick whifflin by I jumps up behint an we flies sky hi !

"I{olt fast," she yelps with a shreke ur too, "Ime gonna make a example ov yu !"

Then she rams a comet, head on, ker smash An mi flyin expurriense ends in a crash ! I falls til I lands on mi oan bak stare, And wails, "I'm havin a awful catmare !"

Then I cat calls a friend, "hav I saw what I scene ?"

An he answers, "uv coarse, this is Hallow E'en."

'W'at's the meain uv thet an w'at it's fur Is infurmashun fur w'ich f purr.
