The Black Cat



I once had a black cat,darker than night. He was so smart, he could ride a bike. He would ride through town as if nothing were wrong,then all of a sudden my cat hit a stone. He fell in a creek and bumped his head, when he got out this is what he said.
I'm the smartest cat in the whole wide world, I'm even smarter than a human girl. I'm even smarter than that cat named pearl. My owner calls me crazy, the rest call me jack. But they all know,I'm the black cat
