children's rhymse ii
that cat she wanted to go for a sail
to feel the crisp wind
to spin a great tale
and so she stitched
bits of leaf with her whiskers
and bound many sticks
with the help of her sisters
'til her craft was done:
cat-sized, quite small,
but sturdy, and tipsy,
then steady in squalls.
ii: the Whale
and so when the cat
was well out from land
she saw a fine beach
green trees
golden sand
so beaching her boat
she stepped on the shore:
and of cat, boat, and island
nowt was heard more.
iii: Riches: The Return:
'til later
much later
after spit-up and gale
our cat washed ashore
all glued up
and blue.
But when her five sisters
undid all her wrack
they found 'twas ambergris
