Cats At Their Bowls Lapping

 

Imagine Angela,

after all these years,

rising and gliding

to check on my pie, 

 

wouldn’t that be something?

Angela, come to Chicago,

and bring all of your cats.

I’ll watch those cats 

 

in your lap napping,

you in my lap napping,

the cats at their bowls lapping,

and I in my chair laughing.

 

Angela, bring all of your cats

and come to Chicago

to make Coquilles St. Jacques

and Jefferson Davis Pie.

 

“If ever I cook dinner for you,

it will be Coquiles St. Jacques

and Jefferson Davis Pie.”
