Beautiful Land


Red is the color of a lot of lollipops,

Orange is any orange on a tree.

Yellows the color of a bag of lemon drops,

Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea.



Blue is the color of the sky in summertime

Indigo is a siamese cats eyes.

Violets the color of a flower in wintertime.

These are the colors of the rainbow skies.



There is a beautiful land

Where all your dreams come true;

Its all tied up in a rainbow,

All shiny and new;

But its not easy to find

No matter what you do.



Its not on top of a mountain

Or beneath the deep blue sea

Or in london zoo or in timbuktoo,

Or in timbuckthree.



And if you traveled the world

From china to peru,

Theres no beautiful land on the chart.

An explorer could not begin

To discover its origin

For the beautiful land is in your heart.

Hamlet's Cat's Soliloquy..........

To go outside, and there perchance to stay

Or to remain within: that is the question;

Whether it tis better for a cat to suffer

The cuffs and buffets of inclement weather

That Nature rains on those who roam abroad,

Or take a nap upon a scrap of carpet,

And by so dozing melt the solid hours

That clog the clock's bright gears with sullen time

And stall the dinner bell. To sit, to stare

Outdoors, and by a stare to seem to state

A wish to venture forth without delay,

Then when the portal's opened up, to stand

As if transfixed by doubt. To prowl; to sleep;

To choose not knowing when we may once more

Our readmittance gain: aye there's the hairball;

For if a paw were shaped to turn a knob,

Or work a lock or slip a window-catch,

And going out and coming in were made

As simple as the breaking of a bowl,

What cat would bear the household's petty plagues:

The cook's well-practiced kicks, the butler's broom,

The infant's careless pokes, the tickled ears,

The trampled tail, and all the daily shocks

That fur is heir to, when, of his own free will,

He might his exodus or entrance make

With a mere mitten? Who would spaniels fear,

Or strays trespassing from a neighbor's yard,

But that the dread of our unheeded cries

And scratches at a barricaded door

No claw can open up, dispels our nerve

And makes us rather bear our humans' faults

Than run away to unguessed miseries?

Thus caution doth make house cats of us all;

And thus the bristling hair of resolution

Is softened up with the pale brush of thought,

And since our choices hinge on weighty things,

We pause upon the threshold of decision.

11. For Calvin...

POEM FOR CATS

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.
