The World of Cats

Are you blind when you're born? Can you see in the dark?

Dare you look at a king? Would you sit on his throne?

Can you say of your bite that it's worse than your bark?

Are you cock of the walk when you're walking alone?

When you fall on your head, do you land on your feet?

Are you tense when you sense there's a storm in the air?

Can you find your way blind when you're lost in the street?

Do you know how to go to the Heaviside Layer?

Can you ride on a broomstick to places far distant?

Familiar with candle, with book and with bell?

Were you Whiftington's friend? The Pied Pipers assistant?

Have you been an alumnus of heaven or hell?

We can dive through the air like a flying trapeze

We can turn double somersaults, bounce on a tire

We can run up the wall, we can swing through the trees

We can balance on bars, we can walk on a wire
