He was very adroit with his quirks

He was very adroit with his quirks

Although ,rarely, he did his homework

Folk though him humorous,

In his trousers voluminous

Which were free, as  he   pinched them at work

 

He had a grey cat called Inchoate

Which also was pretty adroit

The cat entranced mice

By counting their eyes

Whilst Father Browne recited th’ Introit.

 

Inchoate was just the beginning

As with men cats she adored frequent sinning

She had twenty kittens

And their names are all written

In  Cat’s Bibles  translated for women.

 

Intemperance is not very wise

Anger makes for stupid advice

Counting your blessings

And often Confessing

Are irredemiably bad for the eyes
