Your three things today are:

SILLY
GAME
BACKFIRE

That Cat is Back!

And so the cat came back again  
 
To tempt the boy and girl.  
 
He wanted just a silly game  
 
not for a problem to unfurl.  
 
He told them both to grab the fish  
 
Inside his tiny bowl  
 
The fish he yelled he was just fine  
 
And then his eyes did roll  
 
He knew what was in store for him  
 
He’d been here once before  
 
The last time that the game ensued  
 
It backfired more and more.  
 
The kids they took the poor old fish  
 
And put him in the sink  
 
The cat he was a crazy thing  
 
And took the bowl to drink  
 
He wanted to just taste the fish  
 
But not let the kids find out  
 
Luckily the kids were faster  
 
They saved the fish no doubt.  
 
And so the cat he left again  
 
And took his mess and game  
 
The children often look for him  
 
Of course they know his name.
