Mystical Wizard and the Cat

Steven West
The Mystical Wizard cast a spell.

He turned a young man into a cat.

This pleased the Wizard very much

As he then removed his hat.

The Wizard named the cat Blue.

It was a perfect name for the cat.

Blue hissed and purred at the Mystical Wizard

As he chomped down on a rat.

The Mystical Wizard patted the cat.

"You are now my brand new pet."

Blue looked up at the Mystical Wizard

With just a tinge of regret.

Once a young man but never again,

The spell was in permanent force.

At least the young man who had insulted the Wizard,

Was not turned into a horse.
