SOCCER CAT


Publish me! said the little song
Publish me! said the little poem –
I should be better known

I doodle and dawdle,
Drawings turn into art,
I dicker with the Germans

Schiller, Heine,
And a cat named Novalis
Oh, publish my manuscript

Publish me,
I have things that are marvellous,
Hoffmann would beam at my stories

A Scottish soccer cat
On the verge of a transfer
From Paris St. Germain

To Wolfsburg
Or Bayern Munich,
Publish me,

my homeland, my Heimat
Is expecting great things
In any format.
