A wind whispered past my ears
My ears think they balanced me
What is the climbing man doing there?
Why is he on my helix free?

I hear it again the wind so soft
The climbing man on a grassy tuft
Wasn't he a few moments past
Climbing up my helix fast?

A smile upon my round face,
From eye to eye and up a pace,
My whiskers flutter in the silent wind,
Do you think a cat can sing?

It can smile for sure! Why I'm smiling,
Am I a cat at all? Confusion piling
The wind again like a restless wave
The smell of heaven in a cave!

Is the man on top of the cave?
I wonder within my smiling face!
Why am I smiling if I'm a cat?
I HAVE WHISKERS! Oh God! Flipping hats!

Hats? What hats? It's a windy day
I like my whiskers to flutter away!!

Smiling Again!

  8. Like Dr. Suess on peyote--the cat in the hat did not realize it was just a cat, & for every hat removed, two more took their place; great fun throughout, no poetic darkness in this one; just smiles & feline shenanigans.

  10. You got a superb balnace there between Dr Seuss (a genius) and Mark Twain, who famously said ''never swing a cat by its tail!'' - superb tone and rhythm in this excellent irony and theatre of the absurd - which is a very difficult art.
