Chuck Taylor,
A Black Cat's Tale by R.
M.
Bodie This is Chuck Taylor's story in the hopes that he can clear some of the misunderstandings that surround black cats and fear.
It's tough being a black cat around the time of Halloween.
Whenever people see Chuck Taylor,
They're afraid and some are downright mean.
They will cross the street if they see him near.
They will run away quickly and disappear.
People will yell,
Get away and shoo,
Leaving Chuck Taylor to wonder,
Why,
What did I do?
The fear of black cats just doesn't seem fair.
Chuck Taylor wonders why he gives people such a scare.
He is a cute little kitty with a wonder in his eye.
When he's given love,
He responds with soothing purrs and reply.
Yes,
It's true,
He lives with a witch in the wood.
But not all witches are evil.
His witch is good.
Black cats don't bring curses or bad luck.
Some bring wishes and charm,
Especially this cat named Chuck.
Chuck Taylor is a furry ball filled with happiness and joy.
He's a loving kitty and a very nice boy.
Some people fear that black cats shape shift and are not to be trusted.
These rumors and lies leave Chuck Taylor feeling annoyed and a bit disgusted.
This black cat is gentle and kind.
Chuck Taylor is the coolest cat you might ever find.
Sure,
Chuck Taylor casts the occasional spell,
But only in response to when he's not being treated so well.
Perhaps some of the people's fears might be true,
Especially when Chuck Taylor samples his witch's magical brew.
Okay,
So maybe it might give some people a scare when they see Chuck Taylor on the back of a broom flying through the air.
The important thing for Chuck Taylor to remember,
People will be more loving and trusting after Halloween and into November.
So when you see a black cat on this Halloween,
You don't need to be afraid or especially mean.
Although it's been said and it may be true,
You might want to stay away from the witch that black cat belongs to.
If you see Chuck Taylor,
Just give him a wave and say hi.
Don't be scared if you see him leap off the ground and begin to fly.
Enjoy your Halloween with magic and awe.
Give Chuck Taylor a pet when he reaches out with his kitty cat paw.
Sweet dreams and good night.
Enjoy your rest and be free from fright.
