O stupid sailors that didn't know!
Was it a dogfish struck the spark
From your sea-green eyes with the quaint remark
That you were sailing upon a bark?
Millions of happy pussies fall
Into oblivion; still you call
From the top of your ancient cater-wall,
Call on the centuries to concur
In praise of Tabby the Mariner,
Who discovered the Catskills, named for her.
