An Ode to Kitty

Classicmister

To you that Princess fair

Upon whose self do all men stare

To you this ode I freely give

So that your name may always live

Immortal, pretty Kitty

 

To watch you is a joy indeed

Most when you happily do feed

Upon canteen confectionary

Cream buns to you when once in sight

Do fill your face with sheer delight

Those eyes, how they do open wide

As down the creamy contents slide

 

That walk

How that is done uniquely

That slender form does sway so sleekly

That heads from doorways fast do pour

As Kitty walks the corridor

 

The ideal student

No not Kitty

But in this fact there lies no pity

For to the college she contributes

Far superior attributes!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Here is a little ditty I wrote over sixty years ago in praise of a girl who attended my college but was on a different course. The only time I had to cast eyes on pretty Kitty was when our breaks coincided in the college canteen when she would always devour a cream bun. My friend Roger persuaded me to present this ode to her in person which I did with some treperation - Kitty glanced at it and then tore it into pieces and stubbed her cigarette out over it. My admiration was obviously not reciprocated! I\\\'ve got over it now!
