1957

The Year of the Cat
was when it was at,
but as for that,
who knows where?

Something in the air
was not really there.
I do not care.
Buyer beware.

And so it goes
into your nose,
this thing that flows
everywhere.

Like I said,
it was in the air
like radio
or yes and no,
or bad B.O.
or Dr. Suess
or something loose.

Did I still not care?
Indeed, I did not.
But that’s when it was at,
the Cat in the Hat.

standing in the light
of the golden star
carried by Nonny Mouse
