The Story of Señor Don Gato

To livewire, who has started calling me Gatto, here's a children's rhyme I picked up from [identity-protected] about a cat called Don Gato (Taken from here.)

1. Oh, Senor Don Gato was a cat, On a high red roof Don Gato sat. He went there to read a letter, meow, meow, meow, Where the reading light was better meow, meow, meow, 'Twas a love note for Don Gato!

2. "I adore you!" wrote the lady cat, Who was fluffy, white, and nice and fat. There was not a sweeter kitty, meow, meow, meow, In the country or the city, meow, meow, meow, And she said she'd wed Don Gato!

3. Oh, Don Gato jumped so happily He fell off the roof and broke his knee, Broke his ribs and all his whiskers, meow, meow, meow, And his little solar plexus, meow, meow, meow, "Ay caramba!" cried Don Gato!

4. Then the doctors all came on the run Just to see if something could be done, And they held a consultation, meow, meow, meow, About how to save their patient, meow, meow, meow, How to save Senor Don Gato!

5. But in spite of everything they tried Poor Senor Don Gato up and died, Oh, it wasn't very merry, meow, meow, meow, Going to the cemetary, meow, meow, meow, For the ending of Don Gato!

6. When the funeral passed the market square Such a smell of fish was in the air. Though his burial was slated, meow, meow, meow, He become reanimated, meow, meow, meow, He came back to life, Don Gato!

It's a traditional Mexican rhyme translated into English. Ain't it cute? *grins*
