Episode 224 - “Coffee Cats”

from Late Night Poetry Hosted by James Picard

This poem “Coffee Cats” was inspired by a series of ink drawings of cats drinking coffee. It started with one quirky cat drawn for fun while I enjoyed my morning coffee and soon the one drawing turned into ten … then twenty, then thirty and now its much past fifty or sixty I’m sure. Each cat is a unique character and now many have names. We all get along famously and the inspiration we share, along with our love of coffee, has led me to write a poem about my menagerie of caffeinated cats … Enjoy.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
