Description

[Written for my son's black cat, named Binx after the cat in Disney's film, Hocus Pocus] Brother Binx, Brother Binx tell me if you please what is the mystery of the fleas? Why do they jump and why do they dance? And why do they live in underpants? Brother Binx, Brother Binx tell me if you must why the little mice play in the dust? Beneath the bed way under the ruffle I hear them at night as they scurry and scuffle. Brother Binx, Brother Binx please tell me, please do of the baby birds way up in the chimney flue! Doesn't the ash make them sneeze? Wouldn't they be better off in the trees?

Excellent poem! So cheery and really brightened my day. Your son must love this and I just know that for the rest of the night I will be reciting your first line a few times in my head ... so catchy and fun. And such a great flow to this wonderful piece.

This is really sweet, sort of reminiscent of the old nursury rhymes, sort of nonsensicle and fun, but not about getting a beating, as some of the old ones were ;) great job!

Reminds me of T.S. Elliot. When you save an image there's a box that gives you foremat options.... just click one of the jpeg options. If there isn't a box open it in a different program. MS Paint can do it, but I think it loses some of the image quality.
