Dr Who?

Looking through my old university assignments. This one was fun…

Dr Who?

It is not true
I say to you.
I say to you,
It is not true.
There is no cat
Who wears a hat.
There is no evidence of that.
No cat in hat,
No hat on cat,
No cat in hat who sits on mat.
It is not true
And that is that!

Do not deny
It is a lie.
It is a lie,
Do not deny.
There are no foxes
Wearing soxes,
Living in their tiny boxes.
No fox in socks,
No socks on fox,
No socks on fox who lives in box.
It is a lie,
You can't deny.

It is a shame,
I must proclaim.
I must proclaim,
It is a shame.
There are no poodles
Eating noodles,
Followed up by apple strudels.
Not a noodle,
Not a strudel,
Not a noodle-strudel-eating poodle.
It's such a shame,
But who's to blame?

I do not know
Who told me so.
They told me so
And now I know.
No cat in hat who sits on mat,
No fox in socks who lives in box,
No noodle-strudel-eating poodle.
And as for Sam,
There is no ham.
It's all a ham-Sam, Sam-ham sham.

Damn!
