Little cat

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
I promised Joel a little cat poem.
The poem is written by Kumbel - a danish poet, aka Piet Hein.


Many thanks to mamush Ulla and her old books:



Little cat,
little cat,
itsy-bitsy feline, 
whose are you,
whose are you,
I'm but
me mine.

This morning started pretty cool, not more than 4 minus degrees outside. Everything was laced with a thin milky layer of ice. The daybreak had barely begun, the darkness giving reluctantly in, just starting to disperse. The streets were almost completely deserted. A young woman came out the local store pushing a stand on wheels, in preparation for opening time, an hour later. A middle aged man in a shabby blue pilot jacket and a black Eminem hood to his head passed slowly by, taking in the cool air and wondering how the cats manage to keep themselves warm in this arctic weather. After all, they had come from Africa in their time, where they started out as small lions in the bush, before taking over ancient Egypt by instituting cat worship and it's correlate; human serfdom...
