Please read the words in italic a bit slower, and the words in bold faster.

There's a voice, in my head.
And it comes, from someone dead.
It's kind of sad,
I think he's mad.



'Cus if he was dead.
He wouldn't be in my head
He wouldn't make any noise
'Cus he wouldn't have a voice



And that is why
I think he lies
But I'm afraid to ask
Because he
KIDNAPPED MY CAT AND PUT IT IN AN APPLE TREE!

Sounds good! I just have a little problem with the thing about it being dead or not.. first you say it comes from someone dead. Then you say it's sad and probably mad. Then you say 'if he was dead', implying you think it's not. It's confusing me :S

Well, he says he's dead, but I find that hard to believe. It doesn't make sense to me that a dead person would be in my head. But, you know, I haven't been able to prove it yet, so until I'm sure, I'll call him dead. The "If he was dead" part was sort of there to explain the reasons behind my doubts. This would be so much easier if I could just as him, but he's got a bit of a short temper, and my cat's been through enough. It's still up in the tree, but at least it's safe from the voice there. I'd call the fire department, but I think they're working with the old lady from down the street. She's been after my cat for a while now, I know it... She's always looking at it when it walks by, and sometimes she tried to put milk on her doorstep. Obviously, this milk is poisoned, so I pour it out as soon as I see it, and if this continues, I'll have no choice but to call the police.

Unless they're working with her too... Old people have a lot of contacts...

When I was sleeping, he picked the lock of my front door, sneaked in, grabbed my cat, drew a rather rude picture on my wall and sneaked back out. I'd probably have heard him, because, according to a reliable source whose name I cannot mention and existence I cannot guarantee, he' not very good at sneaking, but he was wearing three pairs of slippers, thus allowing him to move across my floor both quietly and comfortably.

Awkward rhyme. In regards to the rest, it's clearly not the most thoughtful, but that's not the point. I found it amusing, especially the ending. A sequel is eagerly awaited.
