A Cat Dream

I woke up one day

And I was a Cat

I had fur on my face

And some down my back

I tried to stand up

As I usually do

Sadly I realised

I had four feet not two

So I sat down and pondered

When lo, and behold,

Something poked out down under

A tail so long and so bold!

Too late I had I realised

That the tail was my own

Together with the whiskers

It appears I had grown

I opened my mouth

And out rolled a pink tongue

Running out through my teeth

I swore I had fangs!

I could not believe it

It could not be true

I put my head in my hands

But found paws there too!

And so it had happened

My one greatest fear

Pointed ears on my head

And a tail on my rear!

Still my worries I stifled

And with one lordly meow

I jumped down the cupboard

Thankful I wasn't a cow
