The Cats of Cats

William Brighty Rands 1823 (Chelsea, Middlesex) – 1882 (East Dulwich, London)

I am the cat of cats. I am
The everlasting cat!
Cunning, and old, and sleek as jam,
The everlasting cat!
I hunt vermin in the night--
The everlasting cat!
For I see best without the light--
The everlasting cat!
