The Catbird

Just thought I'd share a bit of nonsense verse with the world.

The Catbird

There once was a cat that climbed a tree and wouldn't come down at all.
He built a nest in a sheltered spot and said he'd never fall.
Well he never fell, but his fur wore off and feathers grew instead.
And he grew two wings where his front legs were and a sharp beak on his head.
He learned to sing when the sun came up and sleep when the bright sun fell.
He even tried to lay an egg and he managed very well.
The catbird sat upon his egg and kept it warm and dry.
But nothing hatched from the catbird's egg and nobody knows why.
