Walter De La Mere’s Cat
December 14th, 2008 at 5:27 pm (Humourous)
This is the first in a series of poems on a cat theme. Fans of Walter De La Mere will recognise at once that it is based on the opening lines of his poem, “The Traveller”. My Mum used to recite The Traveller from memory when I was very little, and then she patiently taught it to me as well, line by line. I’ve long since forgotten most of it, but I can still see the image which the opening lines conjoured up for me.
