Purple Cat
Purple cat wears a hat
It's made of finest silk and when he creeps through streets at night
It's not in search of milk
He's the kind of cat you've heard of by writers of great fame
But Eliot's Macavity cannot hold a flame
To this great purple feline who is Master of the Game
His crimes are unrecorded
No paw prints can you find
Because what he steals is the most precious thing known to mankind
He's the thief of all your wasted time
Making up his own rhyme
Purple Cat wears a coat
Lined with pockets that bespoke
Many a hidden toy a wizard would enjoy
To deceive with a sleight of hand
For light he can employ
With a claw at his command
To leap through space and time
Landing on his feet on the turn of a dime
Four purple paws from the greatest height
Spinning his body with effortless delight
And when he comes down to pounce on his prey
You’ll soon find out that his victim is not what you would say
Is the obvious target nor a find for a feast
He is the terror of what you have taken care of least
Yes, he is your hit and miss in the same vein
Knowing how to wait for time to explain
that what you look at, is what you think you can see
But he is chasing atomic mice invisibly
Schrodinger's cat is a lie to be trapped in your
Attempt to understand you are not where you’re at
Purple Cat smokes a pipe
With a tingle in his nose
Leaving a trail of infinite rings everywhere he goes
With a whiskers twitch and a baleful eye
No questions beg silly answers nor reasons why
Your wasted time he rips with childlike glee
He will not spare a thought for you on your spending spree
Our slumbering feline wakes up with a yawn
Never shall you play with him as your little pawn
Another thrilling day ahead full of purple jest
Who can count the ways his charms will manifest
He cocks his lovely tail in a question hoop
And hangs every capitalist in one fell swoop
