5. The Cat

The cat shot over the sleeping dog
And caught it with his paw
The cat shot over the table
Dog chased him through the door

The cat shot over the TV
And Landed in a chair
The cat shot over the ceiling light
Springs shot him through the air

The cat shot over the mirror
A cat gave him a fright
The cat shot over his image
But didn’t want to fight

The cat shot over the fireplace
Burnt tail on red hot coal
The cat shot over the hearthrug
Like a firework on a roll

The cat shot over the window ledge
Burnt curtains caught in the nets
The cat shot over in dad’s old car
For a visit to the vets
