Catwalk
~ Wyatt
I went for a walk today, on a path in my
mind.
I keep it all sunny there, and the
shrubberies are fine.
It’s my very private place, so imagine
my surprise,
When along comes this Cheshire cat With
Magick in its eyes.
“Excuse me” he said... “May I walk in
your head?”
So what could I do?
Cheshire cats are so few.... I welcomed
him.
La la te dee, la la te dum...
“So what’ve you been up to, friend?” I
ventured to ask,
As we wandered through wonderland, just
me and the cat.
“It’s hard to be me.” he said with a
troubled look.
“Everyone’s gone away. No one
reads the book.
And that’s why I’m here. I saw you
walking so near.”
Now I wondered who could possibly know
That Cheshire cats might feel so very
low?
And I vowed right then and there it
would be my mission,
To cheer him up...modify his sad
condition.
La la te dee, la la te dum...
“Listen my furry friend, you may have it
wrong!
Let’s think what the book has said, and
put it to song.
It should be quite easy, some good and
some bad;
A little excitement here, some pretty
stuff there...
Shall we give it a try?” A sparkle came
to his eyes,
“How should it begin?” Then, with our
patented grins,
We improvised....
La la te de, la la e dum....
“I’m feeling much better now.” The
Cheshire cat sighs.
“I’m feeling better, too...” I had to
confide.
I laughed as he slipped away, fading
from sight.
He left me standing there, with a smile
and a wink.
“Excuse me...” he said “For using your
head!"
