I.

There was once a fat feline from France,
who when hunting would do a small dance.
"Tra-la-la," she would say,
"see the furry flab sway"
and the mice would be meat in her trance.

II.

There was once a sly cat from the yards
who was caught red-pawed cheating at cards.
In defence, the cat pled
greed had gone to his head
then he scammed forty fish from the guards.

III.

There was once an old tabby from York
who refused every morsel of pork.
When fresh bacon was served
she would act most reserved
and on mustard would dine, with a fork.

IV.

There was once a small stray from Who-Knows
who crept in one day absent two toes.
She accepted a treat
then when asked of her feet
she replied, "I choose not to disclose."
