Gus is the Cat at the Theatre Door.
\nHis name, as I ought to have told you before,
\nIs really Asparagus. That’s such a fuss
\nTo pronounce, that we usually call him just Gus.
\nHis coat’s very shabby, he’s thin as a rake,
\nAnd he suffers from palsy that makes his paw shake.
\nYet he was, in his youth, quite the smartest of Cats –
\nBut no longer a terror to mice and to rats.
\nFor he isn’t the Cat that he was in his prime;
\nThough his name was quite famous, he says, in its time… <\/i><\/p>\n
