This is sort of a “fan fiction” parody on the Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss
Damn cat in the hat…
The cat in the hat
Had cleaned up the house
The kids thought him fancy
Adults saw a louse.
But what they don’t know
Is that every new day
The cat goes to homes
To take kids away.
He takes them to dinner
And out for a run
He gives them some ice cream
They have lots of fun.
And when they get home
From their date with the cat
Their parents are clueless
‘bout where they’ve been at.
The kids think its funny
To trick their own folks
The cat loves to show them
That parents are jokes.
The biggest dilemma
That stands to exist
Is that the cat is in trouble
He’s on their hit list.
If parents find out
That their kids sneak around
The cat will be gutted
In a tree, he’ll be found.
