on catnip



The girls got two new catnip toys for Chrismas, putting me in mind of this verse and accompanying illustration from Oliver Herford's Rubaiyat of a Persian Kitten (C. Scribner's Sons, 1904)...

'Twas that reviving Herb,
that Spicy Weed,
The Cat-Nip. Tho' tis good in
times of need,
Ah, feed upon it lightly, for
who knows
To what unlovely antics it may lead.
