You catch that cat, shouted the Regent, <br />For it the Law can't be so linient, <br />The foreign cat which does not give a dime <br />The Balkan cat, illegal and supine <br />Politically incorrect feline - <br />The hungry Balkan cat! <br />The metaphysics cat in search of trysts <br />Congenitally anti-communist <br />Consumerist who never tried alone <br />To strip a salmon fillet off the bone <br />Who never listened to the BBC <br />Who never went to Harrods for a spree. <br />How come that we inherited such cat? <br />Maybe from sermons of Adam Bhayat? <br />Or was it from some petty bourgeois gal <br />As surely not from the Neanderthal? <br />For Goodness' sake do something with that cat! <br />Do kill it with a stroke of cricket bat <br />The Government will surely not complain <br />So long as it will not affect its gain <br />The bad-luck, idle cat and poor achiever <br />Which purrs and purrs whilst you all slog like beaver <br />Its languid manner shows its true disdain… <br />You Celtic ancestors, in overalls, <br />Do come and rescue us, heed our calls!<br /><br />Mircea Dinescu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-metaphysical-cat/
