A SMALL-SIZED MYSTERY Leave a door open long enough, / a cat will enter. / Leave food, it will stay. / Soon, on cold nights, / you'll be saying "Excuse me" / if you want to get out of your chair. / But one thing you'll never hear from a cat / is "Excuse me." / Nor Einstein's famous theorem. / Nor "The quality of mercy is not strained." / In the dictionary of Cat, mercy is missing. / In this world where much is missing, / a cat fills only a cat-sized hole. /Yet your whole body turns toward it / again and again because it is there.
