I Saw a Cat

For Day 7 of NaPoWriMo, I followed a prompt to write a poem similar to a song from a clapping game. My poem is inspired by the song "Miss Mary Mack," which I used to clap to with friends when I was a kid. 

 

I Saw a Cat
By Candace Shultz

I saw a cat, cat, cat
That was all black, black, black
With a tiny spider, spider, spider
Crawling on her back, back, back.

She felt a tickle, tickle, tickle
Within her fur, fur, fur
So she licked the spider, spider, spider
And began to purr, purr, purr.

The spider was scared, scared, scared
When it was snared, snared, snared
Inside the mouth of the cat, cat, cat.
The spider had erred, erred, erred.
