were designed to mislead
but a plan to get shot
of the cat was agreed.
Its plain evil stare
was a look of pure spite
as its eyes glowed deep red from the flash in the night.
The pets home so wanted
to re-home the cat
the text on the advert were lies
not of fact.
" gentle and friendly
and fully house trained;"
but the last of its owners
were seriously maimed!
Its claws were like talons
its teeth like sharp fangs,
it would lunge for the neck
and from there it would hang.
It would hiss spit and scratch
as it tried to attach
itself to ones face
with its claws it would latch.
There was nothing to like
in the deviant pet
to encounter its presence
one could try to forget,
but its stare would stay with you
and haunt you at night
and its venom possess
like a vampire's bite.
The woman in black
who replied to the ad
appeared to be smitten
with all that was bad,
so the pleasure she gained
from her new acquisition
put the pet's home indeed
in the greatest position.
"Its perfect!" she wined
in a cackling din
as she stroked the wild beast
with the strangest of grins.
"I'll take it!" she cried,
" it's a match made in hell,"
she laughed but we knew
that her joke was meant well.
Then off in the night
with the cat by her side
went the woman in black
like the devil's own bride.
So sleep with the light
for at night time they roam
like two wandering beasts
both in search of a home!
