The family pet, went by the name of Mangy Max
An aloof, predatory thoroughbred cat
A furry feline rebel who preferred to relax.
Sleeping on his cushions eating tasty snacks.
Purring and preening on his favourite mat.
The family pet, went by the name of Mangy Max.
~
At night he would prowl out on hunting attacks
Chasing mice and his enemy the wild black rat
Max, a furry, feline rebel who preferred to relax.
Wild rats usually run together in packs
When meeting a mouse, he hissed and spat.
The family pet, went by the name of Mangy Max.
~
He ruled his territory leaving scent in his tracks
Then arrived home following his nocturnal combat
Max, a furry, feline rebel who preferred to relax.
Max left his calling card next door with a splat
The neighbour rushed out shouting ‘Scat!
Do your business elsewhere you pesky cat.’
~
Dawn arrived with the sun and the preening acts
To procure peace away from the hate-word scat
The family pet, went by the name of Mangy Max.
A furry feline rebel who preferred to relax.
