You may know this poem “Cat” by J.R.R. Tolkien, but in case you don’t…
The fat cat on the mat may seem to dream,
of nice mice that suffice for him, or cream;
but he free, maybe, walks in thought,
unbowed, proud, where loud roared and fought
his kin, lean and slim, or deep in den
in the East feasted on beasts and tender men.
The giant lion with iron claw in paw,
and huge ruthless tooth in gory jaw;
the pard dark-starred, fleet upon feet,
that oft soft from aloft leaps on his meat
where woods loom in gloom —
far now they be, fierce and free, and tamed is he,
but fat cat on the mat kept as a pet,
he does not forget.
Cheers,
Delisle
