Voice of Hemmingway

In a wooden cottage
Beside the sea
The voice of Hemmingway is calling me

Come and join the six toed cats
Gathering in my comfy lap
They'll be taking their evening nap

This is all I have of this
So I guess its time to quit

(In no way would I disrespect Hemmingway or his writings.  This is just something that is 
whimiscal from the fact that the Maine Coon Cats with the polydactyl trait still live at his 
home in Key West.)

Now wouldn't it have been nice if he co authored a book with Robert Frost. It would have been written by Bert and Ernie. Just joking. Vince
