Feline trustworthy? Nope. (Dunno what you call this form. I've tried to go alphabetical.)

Not here, there, wherever she's at
Not when she wields a bat
Not when she's on a chat
Sometimes you just can't trust a cat.

Not with dis and not with dat
Not while she eat, to get so fat
Not when she's chasing a gnat
Sometimes you just can't trust a cat.

Not even when she wears a hat
Or a saree, with special Ikkat*
When she says, she's your Jaat**
Sometimes you just can't trust a cat.

Or when she chews Kit Kat
And then your phonetics goes fLat
When she sits on a mat, with Nat
Sometimes you just can't trust a cat.

When she gives an oat a pat
Shares half or quat with a rat
Upon whom she then sat
Sometimes you just can't trust a cat.

When she gives you tit for tat
When some uat: fills a vat
Uat? Wazzat? Xat is Yat
To be decided by the cat

So we're down to Zat
Of nonsense verse we've had a full plat
We've messed up the alphabAt
Coz Sometimes you just can't trust a cat!!


*Ikkat is a dyeing technique used to pattern textiles
** Jaat is a relative or kinsperson.
