The Walrus and The Carpenter
Lewis Carroll

Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright--
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night


The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done--
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"


The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.


The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"


"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.


Happy Tuesday, Fudd Fan.
Thank you for sharing your adorable kitty.

Thank you for sharing your adorable kitty.

And thank you for The Walrus & The Carpenter!
Actually he belongs to my parents, and he is treated waaaaaaaaay better than my sister and I ever were. Which means, I guess, that he has them excellently trained!

For those familiar with "Cats" his jellicle name is Mister Midnight Velvetpaws.
