Dedicated to my neighbor cat Tom who is the champion of my neighborhood and also the winged goddess Nike's favorite.
Far over the misty city's cold
To love's sweet and duels' bold
We must sing ere break of spring
To find the paws worthy to hold
The hearts were pounding in the chests
The claws were sharpened for the tests
The whiskers were combed, the paws were licked
The moon and stars were our guests
