Part 2

At last I have to confess That all my judgment is blinded! Jack and Joe are now partners, Croesus and Job united In one homogeneous effort.... And yet my kind make nights hideous By howling continuous calamity!

FORTY-SIXTH CATERWAUL

Now that the Mallorys have money They haven't changed the brand Of my milk nor their butcher. They wear more clothes And better; but they still Continue to pet me.

FORTY-SEVENTH CATERWAUL

Joe sent Pat Mallory through college; Up there Pat says that his father Is Superintendent of power-- Old Mallory's just a plain foreman-- But Pat still with reason Differs From the verdict given by Horton, For Pat still worships his father, And still calls me Poor old Cat....

FORTY-EIGHTH CATERWAUL

I heard Pat talking of college-- Some of Pat's friends have been visiting-- I wondered what they were learning! Pat is surely improving. Still Joe would always have prospered In or out of a college-- And yet I shall always be Just a cat.

FORTY-NINTH CATERWAUL

I've watched in the rain and snow Sunshine and cloudy weather For any change in my spirit; But whether I've eaten a fish Or had just a drink of milk,-- Only that I found made A difference.

FIFTIETH CATERWAUL

Go on with your work-- Patient Stranger! I've told you enough of my Wanderings. The Mallorys are troubled with mice And never close house for the summer!
