Macavity, the Mystery Manager


Macavity: The Maniac Cat
Macavity's a Maniac Cat; he's called the Silent Assassin
For he's the master sadist who can defy the process
He's the bafflement of Strategic Pun Group, the Global Pre___ 's despair
For when they organize the DSC, Macacvity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every QD's law, he breaks the law of sanity.

His powers of micro-management would make a yogi stare,
And when you call him up —Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the foundation, you may look up in the air—
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!

Macavity’s a maniac cat, he’s very tall and thin
You would know him if you saw him, for his eyes are sunken in.
His brow is deeply lined with thought, his head is highly domed;
His laptop is dusty from neglect, his whiskers are uncombed.
He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he's half asleep, he's always wide awake.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a fiend in feline shape, a monster of depravity.
You may meet him in Bangalore, you may see him in the Chennai city—
But when am escalation happens, there’s no sign of Macavity !

He's outwardly respectable. (They say he cheats at cards.)
And his read receipts are not found in any email of Scotland Yard's
And when the Go No Go happens, or the Third eye is rifled,
Or when the tracker is missing, or another PQA’s been stifled,
Or the response template is broken, and the repository past repair
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!

And when the Quality Office find a PRV’s gone astray,
Or the Sales miss someone’s name and email id by the way,
There may be a scrap of paper in the hall or on the stair—
But it's useless to investigate—Macavity's not there!
And when the loss has been disclosed, the Secret Service say:
It must have been Macavity!'—but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him typing, or tapping on his phone
Or engaged in making different representations in Microsoft zone.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
There never was a boss of such deceitfulness and suavity.
He always has an excuse, and one or two to spare:
And whenever the war room took place—MACAVITY WASN'T THERE !
And they say that all the bosses whose wicked deeds are widely known
(I might mention KBX, I might mention PP)
Are nothing more than agents for the Cat who all the time
Just controls their operations: the Napoleon of Crime!
