Gyles' poem this week was ‘My Cat Major’ by Stevie Smith
Major is a fine cat
What is he at?
He hunts birds in the hydrangea
And in the tree
Major was ever a ranger
He ranges where no one can see.
Sometimes he goes up to the attic
With a hooped back
His paws hit the iron rungs
Of the ladder in a quick kick
How can this be done?
It is a knack.
Oh Major is a fine cat
He walks cleverly
And what is he at, my fine cat?
No one can see.
