"Black Cat" A cat as black as blackest coal Is out upon his midnight stroll, His steps are soft, his walk is slow, His eyes are gold, they flash and glow. And so I run and so I duck, I do not need his black-cat luck. -anonymous The Infinite Cat Project Presented by Mike Stanfill, Private Hand Illustration, Flash Animation, Web Design www.privatehand.com
Two
Cats
One up a tree One under the tree The cat up a tree is he The cat under the tree is she The tree is witch elm, just incidentally. He takes no notice of she, she takes no notice of he. He stares at the woolly clouds passing, she stares at the tree. There's been a lot written about cats, by Old Possum, Yeats and Company But not Alfred de Musset or Lord Tennyson or Poe or anybody Wrote about one cat under, and one cat up, a tree. God knows why this should be left for me Except I like cats as cats be Especially one cat up And one cat under A witch elm Tree. |
