From Skylark, 1989.

That is a cat respectable,

Connectable

With selectable

Felines respectable,

Whose names would make you quiver.

That is a cat of piety,

Not satiety,

But sobriety.

Its very purr is of piety

And thanks to its Feline Giver.

—Sinclair Lewis

Perhaps this puts a lump in your throat, too.  Usually, one finds musical birds on the lines of a music staff, as if they're perching on telephone wires.  But here's what happened to the birds.  From Lenoir-Rhyne's 1915 yearbook.
