Copper Henry

Copper Henry was a cat
a sunbright ginger tom
he could see into the future
a talent he got from his mum

He knew when it would snow
and when it would rain
he even knew before
he was likely to feel pain

But best of all his talent
came in very handy
when he saved his friend, Jesmond
from his wicked owner, Mandy

Mandy would deny Jes food
and proper medi care
she wouldn't let him out to pee
and never combed his hair

Then one day when Jesmond pooped
across the kitchen floor
Mandy raised her hand to him
so he would do no more

Just as she swooped her rigid palm
to smite the cowering cat
Copper leapt to Jes's aid
and dropped something on the mat

Mandy took one look
and had a panic attack
the sight of the dead rat
made her fall flat dead on her back
