T.C. GOES TO TOWN

T.C. GOES TO TOWN

T.C cat was big and fat

He lived with rat

Who was thin and wise

Rat was always trying to get cat to exercise.

One day TC cat needed to go to town

To get some supplies and a delicious tart.

He went out to his old car,

Rrrrm, rrrrm , rrrrm went to the car

But the car wouldn’t start.

TC cat had an idea

He put on his coat and hat

And with out any fuss ambled out to catch the bus.

He waited and waited for the bus to come, But the bus’s tyre was flat.

“Oh drat said TC cat Fancy that “ said the rate

“Meoooow” howled TC cat

“Now how will I get to Town?”

 

He decided to skate

Helmet, check

Elbow pads, check

Good now I ‘ll be safe and sound

He headed for the gate,

But couldn’t go straight

And he fell down hard on the ground.

“ Oh drat "said TC cat

“Fancy that” said the ra

“ Meoooow “ howled TC cat

“ Now how will I get to town?”

TC cat thought

He was becoming distraught

I know it’s a pain

If I hurry I can still catch the train

So he ran really fast

Puff, Puff, Puff went TC cat

For he was much to fat

But when he got there the train had just passed.

"Oh drat “ said TC cat

“Fancy that” said the ra

“ Meoooow “ howled TC cat

“ Now how will I get to town?”

 

I have only one option left to choose

I’ll have to bike

He pedalled with pace

He knew he had to race

All of a sudden he hit a bump

And to the ground with a load sounding thump

His head had such a big bruise.

"Oh drat “ said TC cat

“Fancy that” said the ra

“ Meoooow “ howled TC cat

“ Now how will I get to town?”

 

He went back with tears in his eyes

Rat tried to comfort him

“ You’ll just have to walk

Why don’t you give it a try?

It wil help keep you trim”

“ I guess I could” said TC cat

So out the gate, together they strode

Heading down the main road

All the way to town.

TC cat was having such fun

Strolling along in the sun

“ This walking is cool

I was such a fool”

“I told you so “ rat boasted

“You’ll never again be fat”

“ Fancy that “ said TC cat
