This is an exciting and fun piece that depicts the adventures and antics of ‘Mishka’ the Siamese cat, as he conducts his evening sojourns.
Level: Certificate of Performance (AMEB syllabus)
Mishka’s a good looking fellow
Lean and so pale with dark points
He pins other guys
with his piercing blue eyes
As he sets out on one of his jaunts
Security’s high on his radar
As he cases the darkened surrounds
He’s alert for the dude
Who would dare to intrude
On his personal, sacrosanct grounds
The ladies, of course, are quite welcome
Above all, he’s known for his charm
Like a suave buccaneer
He will croon in her ear
To unsettle, seduce and disarm
Sometimes late at night there’ll be trouble
When other Toms seek to invade
The air turns electric
Beyond dialectic
Strategically they masquerade
Until comes a chink in the armour
And Mishka flies in for the kill
Caterwauls fill the air,
Broken nails, torn out hair
and the copious blood that is spilled
‘Fore long, the usurper is vanquished
and retreats like a dog with his wounds
And though Mishka is injured
His armour quite chinkered
Victorious, his jaunt is resumed
He preens just a bit for the ladies
Then struts to the house for his supper
A renegade phantom,
He’s lean, mean and handsome
A Siamese cat like no other!
