VIRGIN PURR LIKE DRIVEN SNOW

With a loud purr, the driven snow
Was dispursed from the cats whiskers
Into a small purse on the flower.

The cat with green eyes, all neatly dotted,
Was called ‘Gin Vert’
Or ‘Vert Gin’ if you pre-fur
Or just fur a laugh,
‘Vert’ meaning green
And ‘Gin’ meaning ‘trap’.

It was a trap for little green mice
Should they ever invade from Mars.
It would bar the Milky Way
With white chocolate
As purr as the driven snow
That the cat had just purred off its whiskers.

The cat had been created
By a spell of wood from an old chair.
It had been intended that it should be
A virgin, ‘Vir’ meaning ‘man’
And ‘gin’ meaning, I repeat, ‘trap’.
Trap, trap.
But the spell had been monkeyed with
By a jumped up frog on a cold run
So, instead of a ‘Mantrap’,
Or even a ‘mantra’,
It turned into a ‘Green Trap’.

Now this may mean something to golfers
And other hole-in ones
But for those who do not know
That a cat is not just for Christmas,
They may mistake one
For a vert gin
Driven purrly
By snorting snow.
