On the grass in the sunshine, She lazed on the lawn, In the languid summer. All around her flowers of different colours Acted as a backdrop, a mere prop, Designed to display to the full The desirable form of the dusky maiden. Ageless and wise, Self assured in her dark beauty, And totally at ease In front of the camera. With one swift glance, She could get the measure of the man. And would either react with haughty disdain For a person with no soul or understanding, Or a genteel kindness for trusted acquaintances, And wholehearted passion for her lovers. She came to us unloved and unwanted, She has repaid our care a thousand-fold With little looks and gestures. Molly is indeed a very splendid cat!
