Cat On the Table

Cat on the table,
Now...isn't that queer?
She loves...I am sure,
And wants to be near.

Cat on my table,
And I...her permit.
To jump from the floor,
To look round and sit.

Cat on my table,
How can it be so?
Straight from the floor,
She sits on a throne.

Cat on my table,
From the window...she looks.
At the snow coming in,
Perched on some books.

Cat on my table,
And are you not able?
To comment in words,
With a cat...on my table?


E.P. 1908 - 1989
