T.S. Eliot - Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

Vaellus tauolta takaisin kirjoittamaan, kun nyt luin tämän...

Minusta on hienoa että sama tekijä on kirjoittanut sekä Waste Landin (josta suuresti pidän) että tämän, leikittelevän kissakirjan (josta joku teki menestysmusikaalin jota en ole nähnyt).

Macavity: The Mystery Cat (ote)

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Hidden Paw -
For he's the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad's despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
He's broken every human law, he breaks the law of gravity.
His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare,
And when you reach the scene of crime - Macavity's not there!
You may seek him in the basement, you may look up in the air -
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
