Still Delaying His Purchase of a Cat

Watched by a rat As he snored in a mat … Just like the rat Abominably fat … Still wearing a fanciful hat He’d for it parted with a bat: To many witnesses “A Good Bargain” To a Smarter Few, “No Loss, No Gain” … And Fat Sleeper still had an unfinished fish: Just an hour ago his dinner wish And right now a rat’s collecting wish Especially as he’d held it and it seemed childish! “But how possible by a rat?” Sadly, neither possible a wake-up pat And Statement of its Rat Purpose After interrupting human repose! There, a brainstorming just stood or sat, Merely self consoling that Mr. Fat Was still delaying his purchase of a cat.
