Tomcats swing to a music all their own
Down the sidewalk with a tap
Yowlin at the dogs that yap
No safe house, they'd ratha' roam.
Alleys were built just for us
Come and stroll! Don't take the bus!
Moon Cat Dance for City Felines
Well we dance on da' rooftops ev'rytime!!
(chorus)
Moonlight dance, come prance and sway!
Cats ev'rywhere dance ev'ry way!
Swish and swoosh and slide and slip
And of couse acompanied by a city trumpet!
All cats can dance, we all can jump 'n' jive
We all swing to the music and slide slide slide!
Dance from a tree or on the ground!
Dance in a group and go 'round and 'round!
Or dance by yourself, promenade and prance
A mouse one day did look to sea
And this is what he saw:
A great white beast (a tempest cloud)
A fierce-like sloshing jaw
The sun was a dripping egg, the sea a china platter
The sky a thousand voices crying out "Whatever is the matter?"

Summerspell
Apon the grass a child runs
Her eyes alit with the soft sun
Springtime scattered in the air
Weeks ago, the trees were bare
Crickets sing and cloud-bursts dance
On with shorts, off with snowpants
Long dark hair flips in the breeze

Chasing chipmunks, catching frogs
Splashing in puddles with her dog
Rollerblades and sidewalk chalk
Long and lonesome summer walks
Eating flaming tangerines
Stung by night-striped golden bees
Her eyes reflect the endless sky
Geese and songbirds soar so high
Frosty bitter lemonade
