The Last I Saw of the Cat
The last I saw of the cat
she had that look in her eye -
her good one I mean
the one with which she spies.

The last I saw of the cat
her taste buds set to mousie,
she stalked and sniffed and hunted
in dark corners of the housie.

The last I saw of the cat
was just about one o’clock,
just before the chimes,
just after the tick and tock.

Suddenly the mousie appeared!
At the top of the clock he sat.
At the gong he ran down and hid,
and that’s the last I saw of the cat.

Prize Prompt:
The thing you’d most likely lose in a nursery rhyme (like little bo peep lost her sheep).
