For Real Toads: magical realism

Kerry has suggested, in that way only Kerry can do, members and visitors at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads might want to write about Magical Realism today. 
Magical Realism, says Kerry, makes the ordinary seem magical and the supernatural seem commonplace.
She did provide photos, and I chose one as a prompt for my little ditty.

Black cats took over

Photo supplied. Unknown origin.

the town one day

when everyone else

was out to play.

They walked around

and sat in the street

and said to each other

“Isn’t this neat?

 We have all the cars

 and the houses, too,

 but we cannot drive

 ourselves to the zoo,

 or the ice cream store

 where we’re unable

 to open the door!”

“That’s right,” said one,

“and the special toys

 I get from my mom

 and dad and the boys—

 how do I manage

 to get in the house?”

“Never mind that, but

 what if a mouse

 gets in the cupboard?

 I’ll feel like a louse

 if ever a mouse

 gets the run of my house.”

They sat in the street

and pondered right there

’til the people came back

from they-didn’t-know-where

and picked up their cats

to take them all home,

and thus put an end

to this Magic Cat Poem.
