Whirlagig Cat
Whirlagig cat,
She chases her tail
Around and around
She spins in a gale
Of furry delight
In her own clever game
Till over she falls,
It's always the same--
Bored with her toys of
Mouse, ball and string
She turns to her tail,
That marvelous thing!
It's just out of reach
This ultimate toy
So, she chases to catch if she can--
But not quite--
In a whirl, on and on
For sometimes half the night--
This source of endless feline joy.
