Theo the cat with the question mark tail

Went to sea to see a whale

With his question mark tail he could not hide

he saw the whale…but from the inside.

 

Theo the cat with the question mark tail

Wandered curiously inside the whale

His tail tickled tonsils ‘til out of the whales throat

Theo was sneezed, right into a boat.

 

Theo the cat with the question mark tail

no longer wanted to see a whale

he hated the boat and felt rather sick

and hoped he would get home really quick

 

Now Theo the cat with the question mark tail

Goes rather pale at the mention of whale

He stays at home in the fireside chair

With his question mark tail curled round his ear.
