A poet had a cat	A
There is nothing odd in that	A
I might make a little pun about the Mews	B
But what is really more	C
Remarkable she wore	C
A pair of pointed patent leather shoes	B
And I doubt me greatly whether	D
E'er you heard the like of that	A
Pointed shoes of patent leather	D
On a cat	A
	-
His time he used to pass	B
Writing sonnets on the grass	B
I might say something good on pen and sward	E
While the cat sat near at hand	F
Trying hard to understand	F
The poems he occasionally roared	E
I myself possess a feline	G
But when poetry I roar	C
He is sure to make a bee line	G
For the door	C
	-
The poet cent by cent	H
All his patrimony spent	H
I might tell how he went from werse to werse	B
Till the cat was sure she could	I
By advising do him good	I
So addressed him in a manner that was terse	B
We are bound toward the scuppers	B
And the time has come to act	J
Or we'll both be on our uppers	B
For a fact	J
	-
On her boot she fixed her eye	K
But the boot made no reply	K
I might say Couldn't speak to save its sole	L
And the foolish bard instead	M
Of responding only read	M
A verse that wasn't bad upon the whole	L
And it pleased the cat so greatly	N
Though she knew not what it meant	H
That I'll quote approximately	N
How it went	H
	-
If I should live to be	N
The last leaf upon the tree	N
I might put in I think I'd just as leaf	O
Let them smile as I do now	P
At the old forsaken bough	P
Well he'd plagiarized it bodily in brief	O
But that cat of simple breeding	Q
Couldn't read the lines between	R
So she took it to a leading	Q
Magazine	R
	-
She was jarred and very sore	C
When they showed her to the door	C
I might hit off the door that was a jar	S
To the spot she swift returned	T
Where the poet sighed and yearned	T
And she told him that he'd gone a little far	S
Your performance with this rhyme has	B
Made me absolutely sick	U
She remarked I think the time has	B
Come to kick	U
	-
I could fill up half the page	V
With descriptions of her rage	V
I might say that she went a bit too fur	D
When he smiled and murmured Shoo	W
There is one thing I can do	W
She answered with a wrathful kind of purr	D
You may shoo me and it suit you	W
But I feel my conscience bid	X
Me as tit for tat to boot you	W
Which she did	X
	-
	-
The Moral of the plot	Y
Though I say it as should not	Y
Is An editor is difficult to suit	Z
But again there're other times	B
When the man who fashions rhymes	B
Is a rascal and a bully one to boot	Z
