This is adorable! Lost count of how many times I laughed! I'm only sorry that Mr. Carryl is no longer with us, so that I could commend him in person!

Cats can be very judgmental. Don't take it purrsonally.

Gee, that was sure punny! ! ! ! Haven't had such pun in a long time! Purrrsonally, I thought this was the cat's meow. Okay, so I am not in the same witty bracket as Guy Wetmore Carryl.

Entertaining poem. There seems to be a misprint on line 3 of the second verse. I think that should be SWORD instead of SWARD. That would make it rhyme with ROARED on the sixth line of the same verse.

This is indeed a great mood freshener. The role played by cat is no less than that of the poet. 'I myself possess a feline / But when poetry I roar / He is sure to make a bee-line / For the door'.
