a Hallowe'en Poem by me

The Cat sans His Hat  

The Cat sans his hat

its often been said

on Hallowe'en night

comes back from the dead.  

He hunts all the graveyards

with haunting refrain,

"Someone's stolen my hat

thus most of my name!"  

He harasses the Whos,

the Smeeches with stars,

the Smeeches without

and Foxes in cars.  

None here are safe.

Not Red Fish nor Blue.

Not Horton the Elephant.

Not poor Cindy Loo!  

He hounds the old Lorax

and sad Sam-I-am

(died of Salmonella

eating green eggs and ham)  

"What's that over there?

Its the rascally Things!"

(They don't have his hat

just a kite and some string)  

Thing One's eating Two

and dribbling with glee.

Thing Two smiles and says,

"Hey that's all right by me!"  

"They don't have my hat!"

Cat stamps with a shout.

"But its got to be here,

I haven't a doubt!"  

Deep in his tomb

where Cat hasn't seen

clutching a hat

gone moldy and green  

is old Dr. Seuss

chuckling with glee,

"It was my hat first!

He stole it from me!"  

So the Cat Sans his Hat

the people all say

will haunt Hallowed Eves

Forever... plus one day.
