There's a cat in my hat

a silly childrens poem Dr. Suess type

 

"There's a cat in my hat"

I needed to go to the store the other day,
I was in a big hurry, no time to play,
I grabbed my wallet, my keys, and my hat,
and reached down to pet my friendly old cat

 

The traffic was bad, cars going fast,
took me forever, but I got there at last,
picked up some milk, some butter, some cheese,
grabbed for my hanky as I started to sneeze

 

I got into line it was terribly long,
I daydreamed a while, recalling a song,
the man at the checkout was starring at me,
I wondered what, what it could be

 

He said "something is wrong" there's a tail from your hat,
I patted my head "I said it's just my old cat",
he looked at me funny so I said to him,
his name is Fluffy, but I call him Jim

 

He likes to go with me wherever I go,
and I like him with me he puts on a show,
he pats my nose and licks on my head,
he's more than a cat he's my best friend I said

 

some may think I'm silly for sure,
but I have a hard time walking out of that door,
without my wallet, my keys to my flat,
but most of all my cat in my hat

Ha ha ha ha ha....I love this, so like a Dr Seuss rhyme. I can see you with a cat in your hat. Cats have such interesting and unique personalities. I can't stop laughing.

My cats are my only true friends. I have one sleeping on her bed next to my computer. The other on the floor by my feet. They know I'm the one who feed and take care of them. I like this story. It was fun to read. Thank you.

reminds me of the time my cat Tigger decided he wanted
to ride in the car with me, so he jumped on it.
I asked him if he was sure he wanted to go for a ride,
he seemed content, so I closed the door.
I was only going to the local grocery. I started the car
and started backing out of the drive, when Tigger
started howling, growling, moaning realllll loud.
By the time I got to the store his face was mashed
against the back glass having a HISSY fit!!
It was hilarious!!! He has never jumped in my car again.
(except in cat carrier to vet) which he does not mind at all.
Go Figure! lol Cute story!!
