Oh, WHAT WONDERS A CAT WITH A MAT AND A RAT CAN CAUSE!!!

I once caught a cat that loved its mat. I got a bat and found a rat. I thought I was dying but I found myself buying ten million mats with one thousand cats sitting on 5 billion rats. I went home in shock to find a big block. The block was on my mum that had a big bum. I tried to move my mum but she was drinking rum while her big bum was stuck to some gum. I got a stick so I could pick the big piece of gum that was stuck to my mum’s big fat bum. To get some rest I changed my vest. I blew my nose with a hose. It was a little strange, but hey I became free range. Then it felt cool so I sat on a stool. There was some gold and a chicken, it was bold. I threw the chicken and got bitten. Hoping it was all a dream I got a beam. It shined so bright I lost my sight. Oh, what wonders a cat with a mat and a rat can do.
