Thanks to all the folk I meet in town who recognize my voice and say how much they like my show. I like every one of you and we always have a nice chat about Mark Twain. You all are the best of people.
Here's our offering for your collection. It's an ode to our kitty Katie ...
A wonderfully warm Katie Cat
would come running whenever you sat.
She'd rumble and purr,
and had wonderful fur
to cuddle and nuzzle and pat.
