Quote:
The Rum Tum is a terrible bore:
When you let him in, then he wants to be out
He's always on the wrong side of every door
Why this book you might ask: I've owned this book for many years and have enjoyed it greatly. It was just time to read it again.
My thoughts: These poems are a lot of fun to read. They are humorous, playful, and at times insightful. If you ever owned a cat you might recognize him/her in the Rum Tum Tugger. I've had cats who were always on the wrong side of the door. My white cat is named for one of the cats in here: Jennyanydots. The poems vary in rhythm and rhyme, each one a unique work that works well with the others in the book. It's amazing to me that the play Cats was based on this little volumn. I recommend it highly, whether or not you like cats.
