Merlin the Magic Cat

MEOW! cries Merlin the Magic Cat,
As he pulls magic out of his hat!

POOF! A lady Siamese appears!
PURR-they scratch each other's ears.

POOF! A service of catnip tea spread.
PURR-Sip and smile, no meows are said.

POOF! A coach with gold roses on it!
MEOW! "Mer" reads a Shakesphere sonnet.

PURRING loudly, as she smiles at him,
POOF! Eight horses await his next whim.

POOF! Two coachmen arrive ln thin air!
Reining the horses, they await there.

PURR-Will she or won't she take his arm?
He's barely begun to show his charm.

POOF! She accepts and they ride away!
PURR-Magic occurred one summer's day!
