If I Were A Jibjib Cat Poem by Tan Pratonix

If I Were A Jibjib Cat

Rating: 5.0


If I were a Jibjib Cat
With whiskers on my face,
Then I would wear a little hat
Trimmed with silver lace.

I'd wear a little monocle
For my little eye,
And if I happened to fall ill
I'd have some Puli Fry.

I'd have a little rat to chase
Around my little house,
And for a snack I'd have some dace
With sprinklings of a mouse.

I'd live beside the Wavee Lake
And with a fishing rod
I'd catch some halibut and hake
And pickle them with cod.

And for my dinner, supper, tea,
I'd have some milk and cheese
With speckled salmon from the sea
And sardine made-to-please.

This is an absolutely delightful poem - definitely my favourite. I shall definitely send it to my three oldest grandchildren. I love it. Is there really such a creature as a Jibjib cat? Perhaps in Mauritius there is. Please let me know.
