The Pug Comes In on Little Cat Feet

It sits looking

Over Berber and shaggy

On silent haunches

And then moves on


Meaghan C., Reuben’s pug foo is strong but his toe foo defeeted us! Original poem is Fog by Carl Sandburg.

          now, Theresa, you KNOW that it’s indiscreet to refer to body parts, like that!!!
          The term “limbs” is preferred, in order not to corrupt young innocent minds…..

            Are you trying to say “Won’t someone think of the puppies!!!??”?

    Speaking of cat feet… here are some cat feet that are kicking the kibble out of an automatic feeder. NOMTOM, please work your magic.

      I saw that video recently, and I may indeed write something up for it. In the meantime, everyone please watch; it’s amazing.

      In the meantime, there’s a Mr Skinner in the lobby talking about a control group…

    It appears from the poem that this little guy is adept at all types of piles….. carpet piles, that is. (Although who would begrudge him a couple of little pug piles?)

    My professional choir has a choral setting of ‘Fog’, of which I am quite fond. Lovely 3-part women (I sing ‘middle’), nicely sonorous and illustrative of the ‘comes…sits…then moves on’ of the poem.

    However! Anybody who thinks that fog comes ‘on little cat feet’ hasn’t heard the little cat feet running around _my_ house at 3:00 am… More like major thunderstorm warnings…

      In my house, that’s referred to as the “dundering third”, and is usually accompanied by snarls and hissing noises.

      • Fird Birfle says:

        izzit YEW who makes the snarls/ hissing noises, v ???? :)

        Love,

          Only when they bring it onto my bed! Otherwise it’s the old “you kids knock it off!” yell.
