There once was a young lady who swallowed a cat (the tale of a tomboy)

There once was a young lady 

who swallowed a cat

Imagine that

She didn't remember swollowing the cat

But she could feel its claws digging in every time she shifted her weight

And from time to time she had to remind the cat that her insides were NOT a scratching post

But it never seemed to listen

She swollowed some hamburger 

Steak

Salmon

Tuna

Hoping the cat was merely hungry 

But that didn't seem to work at all

She swollowed a Halloween sized bag of chocolate 

And then remembered at the end

That only worked on dogs

Her insides churning 

Mind hitting a low jog the way a regular person would half way through a marathon

And then she remembered someone telling her something about pills

And she thought well if curiosity killed the cat

It's bound to be worth a try

She swollowed those pills 

so fast and so ready to be done 

with this seemingly bipolar cat

And those seemed to knock it out

 for a few hours 

But no matter how hard she tried 

She still never could remember 

Swollowing the cat

After all she was more of a dog person
