The Trickster gets Tricked


Here is the back story of Puss n Boots, the cat with luck and some tricks

Given to the youngest son with some boots that just fit 

 

She got her master in a castle

A princess without a hassle

A meal out of an ogre how did she do it legit? 

 

It all started in an island called Cat-TA-Lax

Where cats ran the land and Puss was an aristocrat

 

She grew up with all the lavish in her life

Always fed with an abundance of mice and delicious milk before night

 

The other cats envied Ms. Puss but what could they do? 

She lived on top of the hill surrounded by Tigers bigger than me and bigger than you

 

How would they get Ms. Puss to come down from the castle she stayed? 

Where the sun never settled and Cat Elvis records were played

 

Alas!, one of the cats yelled I have an idea we should do! 

Let us present gifts to Ms. Puss once a week maybe two

 

Once we give her enough

We surely will gain her trust

Then we will make the move that has been long over due

 

What is the move? A young kitten questioned with uncertainty 

It is to trick her into taking sea and have her leave, you see...

 

Ms. Puss has an ego that is high as the sky

Let's give her a challenge that will end in her demise 

 

There is a tale of a place far in the west

Where Giants run free and cats are their pets.

 

Let's us tell Ms. Puss there is a new island to conquer

Where the brave all have tried yet are with us no longer

 

She surely we stand tall and show off her might

Pack up her bags and head off tonight

 

Ms. Puss was on top of the world from all the gifts she received

That when she heard of the island she was destined to leave.

 

Ms. Puss packet up her bags and was off in a jiff 

The poor cats' plan had work, Ms. Puss had been tricked

 

The moment she landed she was snatched from her sail 

And here now begins the Puss n Boots Tale.....
