Purr Verse

Purr Verse Give me a mole or a moose or a mouse, Make it quite small, or as big as a house, Buy me a bear or a big ol' black bat, But I beg you please, Do not give me a cat! Mail me a whale or a wart hog or worm, Something that crawls or that creeps or can squirm, Pass me a buck! Send a hare out of place, Or do a bad tern, But a cat I can't face! A snake I can take, (though I quake at the thought), Or a skunk or a hunk of some "gross" thing you've caught, An eel or an owl or a newt or a gnat, Or some fleas, if you please, Just don't give me a cat! However, there's one thing that I dislike more And that is a rat! Oh, a rat I'd abhor! If I found just one little rat in my flat, I know what I'd do - I'd go get me … a cat!
