Rubber Cat

Willie Koenig

When I grow old, I will invent

A bouncy rubber cat.
And when you drop it on its back
It will not break or splat.

I could take away eight lives;

It'd have one left, I'd surmise
And when it'd fall, there'd be no surprise;
No broken spine or glazed eyes
O the glory of a rubber cat!
Yes, I think I'll invent that.
