The Tom Cat In The Phantomhive Garden
(another Black Butler poem by Axel Ingleson)
"Sebastian, Sebastian, come answer to me
You're coat is a mess and just shouldn't be"
"Forgive me, Young Master, it causes me pain
I look quite untidy, and cannot explain.
I am so very sorry for letting you down."
"Never mind! Worse than that, there's a tom cat around."
"Do not worry, Young Master, he'll cause you no harm."
"I am not one who thinks many kittens a charm."
"So be sure when you see him just to shoo him away.
Or it just may be you who is leaving today."
"Our contract forbids it, so I shall not go.
And Young Master, there's something you ought to know"
"I'm aware of the tom cat, though I've never seen
And I've walked all the places that you say he's been.
I have petted the soft fur of the queen cat, too."
"I begin to suspect, that the tom cat was you."
"I'm afraid that you are right, My Lord, that was me.
And the count of my kittens is seventy-three."
