Lullaby For The Cat by Elizabeth Bishop
Minnow, go to sleep and dream, Close your great big eyes; Round your bed Events prepare The pleasantest surprise.
Darling Minnow, drop that frown, Just cooperate, Not a kitten shall be drowned In the Marxist State.
Joy and Love will both be yours, Minnow, don't be glum. Happy days are coming soon-- Sleep, and let them come...
