Oh, black Persian cat! <br />Was not your life <br />already cursed with offspring? <br />We took you for rest to that old <br />Yankee farm, — so lonely <br />and with so many field mice <br />in the long grass — <br />and you return to us <br />in this condition —! <br /> <br />Oh, black Persian cat.<br /><br />William Carlos Williams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/muier/
