I awoke to find the Cats
Had constructed a high-rise
Complex in our bedroom.
By reason of his seniority.
Come to think of it,
He looks a little like Guccione.
Joseph, still a kitten,
Had a very cute tabby flat
On the forty-first floor.
They think I am their doorman.
They are right.
William's Whimsical Words:
Thank goodness they haven't evicted us by asserting the right of evident domain.
