Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Smile of the Cheshire Cat

they called her the crazy cat lady
for so many obvious reasons
calm and poised she hummed and purred
she would sit and pose the whole day long
had nothing better to do with her time
than keep her cats amused and entertained
a herd of cats nudging her climbing her
her pockets filled with treats and catnip
the lady with the smile of a cheshire cat

she doesn't sound that crazy to me..I think she was meditating perhaps?
