Black an Fite Cat

The Black an Fite Cat

The black an fite cat wi the lugs o fur

Is chawin a paper bird

wi a smudge on his snoot that micht be ink

he's ettin up ilkie wird

the paper wings hae sentences

that melt on the tongue like a dream

the black an fite cat wi the lugs o fur

wad rather hae thochts than cream
