Sir Hootabang Mancus

Sir Hootabang Mancus was an exceptional cat!

Exceptionally large...

Exceptionally fat...

He was lovingly groomed

By the human who roomed

In his rather palatial flat.

In the role of the Master he thundered and muttered

Till his cook came out with 10 pounds of butter

He served his guests exceeding well

By continously ringing his dinner bell

The servants would come and bring him fresh quail

He would have shared with his guests but he was feeling quite frail.

Then voila', the entree' finally arrived

Salmon cakes served with chicken pot pies....

He offered to all a taste of these treats

Then consumed the rest calmly with 10 sweet meats.

During the winter months the stage was set

And upon it Sir Hooty was at his best.

He thundered and yowled exceedingly well

Till all the guests thought they had entered to Hell!

Finally sated from feasting much like Genghis Khan,

He settled down slowly and sleep came on.

Then deep within his catly sleep his angels came and with nary a peep

Began to inventory both the white and

the Many... Many black sheep!
