Wait'll Martin Comes

A man decided to spend the night in a haunted house on a
dare. He was reading and all of a sudden he saw two cats
come in. One asked the other "What'll we do with im?"
The other says "Wait'll Martin comes."
Soon another cat came in, one bigger than the first two.
He asked the other two "What'll we do with im?"
The others say, "Wait'll Martin comes."
The man is scared but keeps his calm.
Soon however, a great big black cat comes strolling in.
He asks the other three cats, "What'll we do with im?"
The others say "Wait'll Martin comes."
The man runs out the door saying,
"Tell Martin I couldn't wait!"
