1812.0. "a short poem" by STOR06::DALEY () Fri Sep 30 1988 12:42

    I found this delightful short poem in a book a long time ago and
    meant to enter it, so here goes (hope you enjoy it)  .....
                                  
    BTW - the title of the poem is in 2 Chinese characters which I cannot
    reproduce.

            I put down my book
            THE MEANING OF ZEN
            and see the cat smiling
                into her fur
            as she delicately combs it
                with her rough pink tongue.
    
            "Cat, I would lend you this
                book to study
             but it appears you have
                already read it."          
    
             She looks up and gives me 
                her full gaze.
             "Don't be ridiculous," she purrs
                "I wrote it."
