Macavity: The Mystery Cat
Do you have a pet cat? Have you ever noticed anything mysterious about it? It is not easy to say whether every cut is mystery, but Macauity is one, for sure. What is it that makes him a perfect mystery car? Read the poem and find out.
Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime-
Macavity's not there!
Macavity. Macavity, there's no one like
Macavity.
He's broken every human law, he breaks
the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir
stare.
And when you reach the scene of crime
--Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you
may look up in the air
But I tell you once and once again.
Macavity's not there!
Macavity's a ginger cat, he's very tall and
thin:
You would know him if you saw him, for
his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed:
His coat is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity, For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in a by-street, you may see him in the square --
But when a crime's discovered, then Macavity's not there!
