Okay, I don't know if there is anyone from the Boston area here. I used to live up there. One night I was at Bloomingdale's in Chestnut Hill - the housewares store which was in a separate building from the main store - and out of nowhere a very self-possessed cat walked through the parking lot. This is a classy commercial area, I didn't see any housing anywhere, so I have no idea where the cat came from, but it inspired this bit of doggerel (catterel?). Remember that I was in college at the time, with a brainful of humanities and a dry sense of humor. I thought it was a riot at the time, and 20 years or so later I still remember it. God only knows why.
Cat in a Parking Lot
Where did you come from, O cat in a parking lot?
Padding silently through the night
Illuminated only by parking lot lights
Wither goest Thou, O cat, in a parking lot?
