Had we but world enough, and time,
This coyness, Brother Philbert, were no crime ...
I'm not quite sure what you mean by it's not all about me. I was asking
what it is people like to talk about. I love my cat. We can talk about my
cat. I would have a dozen if it weren't for the litter box. Next year
maybe we can do a Jellicle Ball for New Year's Eve Eve.
Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones--
In fact, he's remarkably fat.
He doesn't haunt pubs--he has eight or nine clubs,
For he's the St. James's Street Cat!
He's the Cat we all greet as he walks down the street
In his coat of fastidious black:
No commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers
Or such an impreccable back.
In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of Cats;
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats!
