This is the tale of how Cat got to Tim's party!

Cat woke with delight,

at Dawn's early light

for today was a special day! 

It was November 8

And she didn't want to be late.

Her friends would all be there

Now Cat had a gift,

But she needed a lift

to get to the special occasion.

She said with despair

"I'll never get there.".

I'll miss the celebration.

Then what a surprise

 should appear before her eyes

out across the field?

A hot air balloon,

that was taking off soon.

She was filled with excitement and glee!

So without delay

she was on her way,

making haste across the field.

She jumped in the basket.

The rush was fantastic,

as the balloon took to the sky.

But it wasn't long

before the wind was too strong.

Pushing the balloon off course.

"I can not land

in a gale so grand!"

Said the balloon man to the feline.

Outfitted with parachute and goggle

Yes, the sight did make the mind boggle.

Who had ever seen such a getup on a cat?

She sailed from the balloon,

and not a moment too soon.

For they were nearing the haunted wood.

Cat wasn't lucky you see,

for she got stuck in a tree

right there in the dark, gloomy forest.

"What shall I do?"

She said with a mew.

Now she'd miss the party for sure!

"I'll count to three

and cut myself from this tree!"

She said to herself reluctantly.

She opened her paws,

cut the cord with her claws

and landed in a passing sidecar.

It was her friend Horace

who was racing through the forest,

to deliver the birthday cake.

What luck that they should meet,

and that he had an empty seat

in his motorcycle.

Over hills they flew

for it was a quarter to two,

the party would be starting soon.

Without a moment to spare

Horace and Cat arrived there.

To greet their friends on the farm.

They had all gathered you see,

for a delightful jubilee

to celebrate a very special friend.

With lights, music, and mountains of food.

The farm was in a very festive mood.

They would surely party down all night!

They all shouted "Surprise!" 

when the guest of honor arrived,

to celebrate his special day.

Now Cat had risked life and limb

to wish Happy Birthday to her favorite friend Tim.

She wished him the very merriest of days!

And that is the crazy tale you see,

of how Cat traveled to Tim's party

and where our story does end.
