{Extracto} The Fur Person de May Sarton

{Sashis mimosa}

{en este pequeño poema la autora imagina las sensaciones que experimenta su gato Tom Jones al ingerir hierba gatera}

I'm a whiffling wonder

And my purr's like thunder,

I'm an elegant fellow

And my temper's mellow

And my eyes as green

As have ever been seen;

I've a coat like silk,

Paws white as milk,

I'm a catly cat,

An aristocrat

If you wish to see Tom Jones,

I'm he.

This Jones victorious

Glossy and glorious

Lordly and lazy

And catnip crazy

Yes, glorious Jones

Is me!
