Never Step on the Tail of a Cat


Never step on the tail of a cat. For all you know, he could be lying on the mat. And if you take one step on his tail, You will surely hear a most frightful wail. Never step on the tail of a cat. For if you do, he’ll make some business in your hat. He will never sit again in your lap, Without giving you, with his claws, a tap. Never step on the tail of a cat. And be sure to note where he sat. For God knows what surely will happen, The poor cat’s tail you certainly will flatten. Never step on the tail of a cat, For you he will bring to dinner a rat. All the furniture, for you he will scratch. Let loose the rabid dogs, he will unloosen the latch. Never step on the tail of a cat. With him you will never find a friendly chat. For every evil plan he will certainly hatch. And you will find, he is no longer a perfect match.
