+=head2 v5.29.5 - T. S. Eliot, "The Naming Of Cats"

+
+ The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
+ It isn't just one of your holiday games;
+ You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
+ When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
+ First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
+ Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
+ Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
+ All of them sensible everyday names.
+ There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
+ Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
+ Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
+ But all of them sensible everyday names.
+ But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
+ A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
+ Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
+ Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
+ Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
+ Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
+ Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
+ Names that never belong to more than one cat.
+ But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
+ And that is the name that you never will guess;
+ The name that no human research can discover--
+ But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
+ When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
+ The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
+ His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
+ Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
+ His ineffable effable
+ Effanineffable
+ Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
