Coricopat and Tantomile

Been together quite a while

Known each other all their lives

They can read each other's minds

Cloudy tabbies full of grace

Yet crossing them is a mistake

But crossing them once was a cat

(More a feline sewer rat)


When they aided wizard John

A mission they were both sent on

Go retrieve a priceless thing

A mystic cup that's made of tin

To aid them on this dangerous task

A Bengal known as Mintoflask

They thought he was a fellow fine

But betrayal was on Minto's mind


Minto knew the artifact

Was worth a lot to the right cat

And if anyone got in his way

They'd never see the light of day

Wait he would till time was right

And steal it in the dead of night

Let the siblings do their work

Then pinch it like an evil jerk


The object was in a dark place

In a castle, in a case

Guarded by some demon dogs

(Nasty brutes with teeth like logs)

But Tantomile and Coricopat

Were magic feline acrobats

Who used their practiced magic powers

To replace it with a vase of flowers


The following night they got a fright

Mintoflask made his move at last

To Tantomile he was quite vile

And hit her head to leave her dead

But Coricopat moved too fast

And Minto's plan went down the pan


Coricopat used his magic

So Tanto's fate it was not tragic

Mintoflask's plan had failed

He never got that mystic grail

His fateful fight with Coricopat

Left him beaten, lying flat

His encounter was such that

He vowed to never be as bad


As for our two jellicle heroes

They left Minko as a zero

Their job they had to carry on

And get back to wizard John

The magic cup they'll return

And get what they've earned

He'll soon praise those magic cats
