CAT PHILES

The Cat Ascendant

A Writer's Legacy

The polydactyl cats that live
At the house of deceased writing whiz,
Hemingway (in the Florida Keys),
Lounge about, and they please
The cat lovers among the tourists.
Moving about a semitropical forest
Of natural plantings, they pose on the wedge-
Shaped nautical fountain and drink from its edge.
They're a gift to the Keys from Hemingway hubris,
And their cat food is now a Museum Service.
