HORSING AROUND
"Your moggy wasn't happy
behaving like a cat.
It hardly ever said 'Miaow',
and slimmed when it got fat.
​
It rarely touched a drop of milk,
and never caught a shrew;
so when you told us all the truth,
we kind of really knew.
​
Your pussy hated cat-life
and wished to be a horse,
copying Black Beauty
to be a star of course.
​
It wanted hoofs to gallop fast,
much faster than 'Red Rum,
and be the nation's favourite
to show this could be done.
​
New surgery was possible,
but saving up was tough.
It only saved 10 'Whiskas' tins,
and this was not enough.
​
The cat remained a cat throughout
its life which it did curse,
but sometimes dreams aren't possible -
even in a verse!
