Munkustrap is the fierce protector of Kittens
His posture is erect, and his shoulders broad
His gray-blue and black fur coat is sleek and smooth
And shows off every muscle
He protects his tribe, and Old Dueteronomy
And grumbles and snarls when Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer start
playing practical jokes
He's exceptionally bored with Rum Tum Tugger's antics too
but whether he's jealous or not we'll never know
He stands with his jaw firmly set, and arms over his chest as he
watches the kittens' antics
While he may be as serious as serious may hope to be
One can not help but notice the twinkle in his eyes as they play
unawares
His job at the Jellicle ball is important
For he is the story-teller for most of the cats who go to the
Heavyside layer
He foretells what will happen when the Jellicle ball nears close, and speaks highly of certain cats
For he gives each tale an air of importance and humor
as he talks about the Rumpus Cat, Jennyanydots and of course Old Dueteronomy
And when the Jellicle ball is over
and every cat has left for home
Munkustrap walks to the outpost over the junkyard
Which he calls home
And falls asleep in a bright and soft cashmere pillow
And I have heard many cats say, that he purrs in his sleep
Which echoes through the abandoned Junkyard all night
