in a sorry pour.

The kitten drops the fish and runs away from the spraying water
What without asking hither harried whence,
And without asking whither harried hence—
O, many a taste of that forbidden Sole
Must down the memory of that Insolence.
The soaked kitten looks sorry for itself
Heaven, but the vision of a Flowing Bowl;
And Hell, the sizzle of a Frying Sole
Heard in the hungry Darkness, where Myself,
So rudely cast, must impotently roll.
The kitten, outside the house, peers through the window at the warm fire
The Vine has a tough Fibre which about
While clings my Being;—let the Canine Flout
Till his Bass Voice be pitched to such loud key
It shall unlock the door I mew without.
A kitten climbs a tree to escape a barking dog
Up from the Basement to the Seventh Flat
I rose, and on the Crown of Fashion sat,
And many a Ball unravelled by the way—
But not the Master’s angry Bawl of “Scat!”
A kitten sits by a mirror, which shows the reflection of a man
Then to the Well of Wisdom I—and lo!
With my own Paw I wrought to make it flow,
And This was all the Harvest that I reaped:
We come like Kittens and like Cats we go.
A kitten reaches a paw towards an open ink bottle on a desk
Why be this Ink the Fount of Wit?—who dare
Blaspheme the glistening Pen-drink as a snare?
A Blessing?—I should spread it, should I not?
And if a Curse—why, then upset it!—there!
The kitten looks surprised as the ink bottle starts to tip over
A moment’s Halt, a momentary Taste
Of Bitter, and amid the Trickling Waste
