Our Man who no longer lives in Denver, Dave Delacroix: "The Big "MEEOW!"
(Singing:) It takes SIXTEEN CATS & wad-a-ya get; another "Meow!" & deeper in debt; ah said JEEZE why R we three/crucified hanging here -Curly, Larry & Moe, let's go cracker-barrel at the County store.
It takes 16 CATS: "MEOWS!" -galore! Another day purring on some stranger's mat. Ah-said, U some kind of SIAMEEZE? He/She/transgender say, AMAH jest purring - in Mandarin - for what I can get! AH I SAID, U gotta be from Shanghai? -Nope. (?)... Silence ensued.
...At which point feline conversation dissolves into bible-bashing, Jehovah-Witness, Scientology, a lotta purring, scratching, licking fur-balls - ones who got Em, looking hungry, furtive or spasmodically chasing Geckos by the swim-pool. Did I mention basking in the sun, occasional incestuous sex? (YO! It's OK. We got neutered!) Absolutely NO mention of Franz Kafka, Dostoyevsky, Camus or Knut Hansun. Lotta purring though. A David Hockney painting "sans" splash.
It takes 16 CATS an' wad-a-ya-get, No Jesus, no faith, no TAX RELIEF. U can wander LONELY as a cloud but U'd better not STEP OUTSIDE of the BIG MEEOW!
(There R 65 more verses to this song where the above actually makes sense but I figure I'd spare ya.)
