Catwoman: - "You're catnip to a girl like me. Handsome- dazed- and to die for. Your the second man who killed me this week- but I've got 7 lives left.", I am Catwoman...hear me rawr., Into the sea you and me, The yowl and the pussycat, When it's cool for cats it's cool for catatatatatatats.
Alley cat love song – Dana Gioia
Come into the garden, Fred,
For the neighborhood tabby is gone.
Come into the garden, Fred,
I have nothing but my flea collar on,
And the scent of catnip has gone to my head.
I’ll wait by the screen door till dawn.
The fireflies court in the sweetgum tree.
The nightjar calls from the pine,
And she seems to say in her rhapsody,
“Oh, mustard-brown Fred, be mine!”
The full moon lights my whiskers afire,
And the fur goes erect on my spine.
I hear the frogs in the muddy lake
Croaking from shore to shore.
They’ve one swift season to soothe their ache.
In autumn they sing no more.
So ignore me now, and you’ll hear my meow
As I scratch all night at the door.

Too catty, really!

I’m glad to have brought it to you Alastair, and you have reminded me to add a link to the name. I often forget to do so when I post poems. It is there now. Thank you.- smiles

Thank you – amazingly, I thought Dana was a woman so it’s a surprise to see he’s actually a man!

Me too. Tis one of those names that doesn’t travel gender-wise to the UK. ‘Dana’ reads completely female to me, although I am aware some American males have the moniker. Yet more than that…it read to me as though a female wrote it too. I like it when that happens, a twist in the cat o’ nine tails eh?

There is a cat by the name of Lucky Carmen living at The Institute who, after I have accidentally shut her up within the storage room for at least a day, will meow in a way that is probably very similar to the way the cat described above does all night at the door.

Lucky Carmen! Lucky for some…I recall the images you have of her, she knows far more than she’s letting on.
‘Carrrrrmennnnn!! Carmen make eyes at me down at the old bull and bush, dar-nar-nar-nar-narrr!‘
