"The Cat and the Elf" by Diane Grandamelf Reed

The black cat sleeps,

In the pale moonlight,

And the elves come out at night!



Dancing and twirling,

And swaying and swirling,

As Elves are known to do!



A fat little elf,

All full of himself,

Said I can jump, can you?



He jumped over the cat,

But he was so fat,

That he landed on the black cat's tail!



Up jumped the cat,

On the elves he spat,

And a brawl did then ensue!



Now such a fight,

In the pale moonlight,

And I swear this tale is true!



Said a faerie, looking on,

This will last until dawn,

Is there something we can do?



Why yes, said a witch,

I will just make a switch,

And so she waved her wand!



Now under the moon,

It's a different tune,

Much better I would say!



Now the Elves sleep all night,

In the pale moonlight,

But the cats come out to play!
