“ ”Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones — In fact, he's remarkably fat.
He doesn't haunt pubs — he has eight or nine clubs,
For he's the St. James's Street Cat!
He's the Cat we all greet as he walks down the street
In his coat of fastidious black:
No commonplace mousers have such well-cut trousers
Or such an impeccable back.
In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is
The name of this Brummell of Cats;
And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to
By Bustopher Jones in white spats!

Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you
I will show you fear in a handful of dust
When a poet's mind is perfectly equipped for its work, it is constantly amalgamating disparate experiences.
