generous gloria geisha kitty

Gloria, generous Geisha kitty was taught to be demure She was not a whiner, barely issued whimper or purr Wore flowers in her hair, her room was subtly perfumed She held court in there, teaching tricks to those about to be groomed She taught me too, granddaddy told his young grandson Might. She’s rather long in the teeth now, though, isn’t that right? That Gloria’s age had been mentioned was shocking to some cats. Gloria’s children heard it and said “but she still catches rats.”
