Kitty's Chinese Chop Suey Restaurant

Kitty’s Restaurant

By Elton Camp 

As a name for a Chinese place to eat,
“Kitty’s Chop Suey” can sure be beat

If, perchance, it’s the owner’s name
I wouldn’t view it quite the same 

As an Asian name it doesn’t ring true
Much more likely would be Wong Sue

Thus, to go to this restaurant to eat
Makes one wonder about the meat

A coincidence, or could it be true
That the meat once used to mew?

Thanks. My bro-in-law is convinced that Chinese cafes actually serve cat. I can grant that it could occasionally occur, but believe it would be extremely rare. They get their supplies from wholesalers like everyone else. At least I hope so! Elton
