One cat, two cat, one bowl, two bowls.

  • NB: My evening drama re-told with a dr seuss’y style. I had the next door cat show up for food and they were hissing and being butt pains to each other… then he went to sleep on my oven hehe but I was explaining to someone and I said. One cat, two cat, one cat, no cat… after my cat stomped outside… which she replied dr seuss would be proud… and so, just for her. I have written this special poem in a dr seuss style just to make her smile 🙂 There is nothing better than a written present!

    Remember to read this one out loud! 

    One cat, two cat, one bowl, two bowls.

    One cat, two cat, one cat, no cat
    Blacky white cat,
    Tiger striped cat
    Mean cat, fair cat
    See these two cats?
    I see, I see these two cats be…

    One is hungry
    Both are Hungry
    The cats are hungry
    See them meow please?

    Lets give them food
    A bowl or two
    That cat, this cat
    WAIT…
    The food has gone poof

    Food gone poof?
    But how? but when?
    I put the food in those bowls then…
    Did you see where the food went where?
    I do not understand this here!

    No matter how or when or why
    Lets give these cats food one more time!
    Blacky white cat
    Tiger striped cat
    Mean cat, Fair cat
    Eat once again!

    WAIT!

    The food has vanished
    Did you see how?
    I turn my back and now its gone…
    Should I try again right here?
    To feed the cats that meow just there!

    I am not sure I understand
    What is happening to my plans
    To feed this cat and that cat too
    Why does my food not stay for you?!

    No matter
    No matter
    Lets try again
    Lets try something different then
    No more food in bowls for you
    One bowl, two bowls,
    To the cupboard with you!

    So what to do may be asked from you
    Well here is a plan that I think is grand
    Instead of one bowl, two bowls, no bowl
    Lets try something much more less bowl

    Do you think that this will work?
    Its a Figzy Wugzy Pogzy Woo
    Does this strange machine confuse you?
    Let me try to explain it to you

    It works like this
    You see right here?
    You put a cat just right there!
    You put them there and push this here
    And the cats will bounce and jump to there!
    Then they stop and see this spring here
    It makes them hop to somewhere somewhere!
    No more meow please
    No more strange things
    No more problems with bowls empty.

    Do you see my solution now?
    It is the best solution in town
    Somewhere somewhere is somewhere elsewhere
    And now the one cat, two cat problems gone where?

    Wow Matty this is sooooo cool 🙂 I love it hehe and Dr Seuss would too. What a special special present 🙂 written by one talented, wonderficul, caring friend.

  • It’s Dr. Matty! A far distant relation of Dr. Seuss, no doubt! Good job, missy. Yet another wonderful story and poem, too 🙂
