ANENT OUR CAT
A Spasm In Four Stanzas

0, the place is in turmoil,
The press is on the bum,
No one can read the copy set,
The foreman's damned his thumb
The poor devil dropped galley
And made a lot of pi,
And the boss used some language
| that
Won't take him to the sky.
Everything is topsy-turvy,
We don't know where we're at,
And all because last Saturday
We lost our office cat.
A man came in this afternoon,
And my how he did rage!-
1t seems his wedding got in print
Upon our sporting page.
A fireman died in town last week;
On us has come much ire
Because the write-up heading read
Hes gone to his last fire."
The editor is getting weak
And nervous as a gnat,
And all because last Saturday
We lost our office cat.
Our pussy was unique beast
And crazy as fool,
His temper was cross between
A bulldog and mule.
In color he was dark maltese,
In gender he's male,
And nature had endowed him with
A most luxuriant tail.
He's most generally nuisance,
But what care we for that
We know things wont run right until
We find our little cat.
You will know him if you meet him,
He's such little dear, Cd
And on close scrutiny you'll find
A hole in his left ear.
This hole was not there when he
came
To make his home with US,
But he acquired it one fine day
Great EN- quad! what fuss!-
On second thought, that blamed
feline
Can stay where he is at.
From boss TO devil we'll rejoice
If we don't find that cat.
