The Fat Black Cat

By: C. L. Collar

I opened the door and there she sat

on my front porch, a Fat Black Cat.

Since Halloween’s not far away

I decided that she could stay

Addition to my fun décor

A Fat Black Cat at my front door.

I really thought by the next day

She would have scampered far away.

But as I opened up the door

She had added to my décor

A big Fat Rat with a pink tail

Of course I let out quite a YELL!

She was not bothered by me much.

She simply said “It’s just my lunch.”

                         I really thought by the next day

                        She would have scampered far away

                        But as I opened up my door

                        She had added to my décor

A Large Black Spider in a Web

“He’s just a friend,” is all she said.

“He might stay for a day

Or he might simply go away.”

I really thought by the next day

THEY would have scampered far away

But when I opened up my door

They both were there and there was more!

She had procured a great big SNAKE

Dead of course, but still a SNAKE!

“He bothered me.” was all she said

As she daintily cleaned her head.

I really HOPED by the next day

THEY would have scampered FAR away.

 

But when I Opened up my door

There was more there than before.

A Bat was hanging from the eaves.

She growled and said. “I am not pleased.

I chased him all night through the trees.

He just won’t go. He’s such a tease!”

I really HOPED by the next day

They would ALL have gone far away!

But when I opened up my door

There was a surprise for sure!

The Cat had donned a Pointed Hat

And a cape was draped upon her back.

She smiled at me “Don’t I look dandy?

Maybe I will get some candy?”

Halloween night was finally here!

No one would come to my house this year

I thought as I looked out the door

At my unusual décor.

They would all be scared and run away

That cat had ruined my favorite day?

As I climbed into my bed

Costumed kids danced in my head

At least I’d see them in my dreams..

Then suddenly the doorbell rings!

I jumped and scampered to the door

And there I was surprised once more.

I opened the door and there she sat

The Fat Black Cat with the pointy hat.

Goblins and ghosts petted her fur

They gave her candy as she purred

Your house’s the best I heard them scream.

And as they ran off,  I know I’d seen

What will be MY BEST, HALLOWEEN!

I thought that she was here to stay

But she had vanished the next day

Gone was the Spider and the Bat

Gone was the Snake and the fat Rat

I really hope she will come back

Next Halloween, my Fat Black Cat!
