“Sure, I’ll do it!” I tell Mrs. Barkley, my neighbor.

I let the money take over. I said yes to babysitting the Barkley’s.

I race through the jungle. Looking behind me every few seconds. After what felt like an eternity, we lost him.

Happily I exclaim,”I think we lost him!”

To see a big tree.

Like all the others,

Surrounding me.

I left my house,

Happy and proud.

But now I like the loud....

The Cat in the Hat,

What a pleasure is he.

The Cat in the Hat,

He’s great can’t you see.

The Cat in the Hat,

He’s never getting old.

The Cat in the Hat,

He’s known for being bold.

The Cat in the Hat,

So brave and so smart.

The Cat in the Hat,

He’s a piece of art....
