Cat News in Mews
(not meaning stables except I guess as places for cat-gossip)
In a recent study
It was on the news today
Arch researching
(not unlike the cats indifferent
arch that is a pose, I’m sure) Found that
Cats can hear us
They know our names
They simply choose
To ignore us
This is news?
We know our cats know us
We count on it
As they on us
It’s a round-robin game
(sparing the robin)
The supplicants of Bastet
Could inform you
And all the rats on ships
Certainly, they know their names
But what is in the mind
Are silent cues
Scripted by a
God who loves them both
The felines and their victims
Cycles for the ages
Worthy of praise
Like Christopher Smart’s cat Jeoffry
Who will, I’m sure, not hear daily
Anything else
