Number 45. The Howl of the Pussy Cat

This one is really daft, complete steph'nonense. The idea was to parody the same rhymes as the original by Edward Lear.

The Howl of the Pussy Cat.

With a howl the Pussy-cat went to see,
What on Earth was stuck in her throat.
She’d eaten a bunny, it was not very funny;
It was stuck like the horns of a goat!

The howl was heard far above,
The noise of a passing car.
Oh foolish Pussy, give it a shove,
What a foolish Pussy you are,
You are,
You are!
What a foolish Pussy you are!

Pussy still howled, it sounded quite foul,
It was a terrible thing!
She felt so harried, that the howling was carried,
Like a vulture away on the wing.
It sailed away, through my ear, in a way...
I can’t stand, I should say, Heaven knows!
Even if they could, nobody would;
The way caterwauling goes,
It goes,
It goes,
The way caterwauling goes!

Dear Cat I am willing, to shut up your shrilling!
You will? said the cat, Yes I will!
So off to the vet the very same day,
Where to start she was given a pill.
It was hidden in mince, so she didn’t wince,
While the vet dived in with a spoon;
And then in his hand, just as he’d planned,
He fished out the bunny bone soon,
Bone soon,
Bone soon,
He fished out the bunny bone soon!
