The book of “…Practical cats” is the basis for the Broadway play: Cats. The book may be used as an example for the meaning of the word ‘personification’. The cats/characters in the book are hilarious if you open up your mind and immerse yourself in reading of the book. In particular ‘Macavity’ is hilarious. If you have some silverware missing look to the criminal cat, Macavity. He, no doubt, has it.

I’ve always liked the idea of T.S. Eliot meeting C.S. Lewis. “T.S., meet C.S.! C.S, T.S.!”

April – move the house plants outside, because it’s warm. Bring them in because frost is predicted. Repeat.

My grandfather’s favourite poet. Whenever we spoiled grandkids would complain about anything he would say, “T.S., Eliot.”

will be measured out,
measured out,
measured in, coffee spoons.
And T.S. Elliott.”

Here’s a thirty year old version of that song. My hairline disappeared but Brad’s didn’t.

“So many, I had not thought that death had undone so many” The Waste Land maintains its relevance down through the ages.

I love the way Ludwig perks up and pays attention once Arlo mentions one of Eliot’s cat writings.

“Ah, THAT T.S. Elliot,” thinks Ludwig.
