Check out the beautiful artwork and poetry submitted over the years by Nora’s international fanbase.
There’s a rather famous musician,
You simply can’t igNORA,
A bewitching bewhiskered Bartók,
Whose many fans adore her.
She has her own piano,
A Yamaha, if you please,
And happily plays for an audience,
By pawing (nearly) all the right keys
A silvery striped sensation,
She performs a great duet,
Or solo too, if that’s your thing,
How talented can you get?
Of course it’s a serious business,
She practices every day,
And follows greats like Betssorgsky,
Who inspire her to play.
Her favourites are G. Purrcini,
Depussy and Meozart,
The renditions are world famous,
She’s touched a million hearts.
And when her concerts are over,
She larks with best pal Max,
Or poses for manager Burnell,
Who takes her PR snaps.
It’s tough to be this gifted,
And stardom can be such a bore
But Nora, we simply implore ‘er,
Please tinkle forevermore!
The tinkling of piano keys
once wafted
through the air
when no one
was around to play.
What could it be down there?
Downstairs there sat a Nora cat
and innocent, she played,
as little paws revealed her gift
through music she had made.
Expressions of her little soul
so touch us
with her art,
for music is the soul’s best way
to reach
into the heart.
When I was a kitten, I played on floors,
batted at anything hanging from doors.
I ran up the sofa-sides, cute and sweet,
tho’ the sofa soon looked like Shredded Wheat!
One day, when I was inspecting my claws,
I heard music inside my paws!
Also a tiny voice which said:
“Play the piano – don’t go to bed.”
That’s really how it all began,
to the piano-stool I ran.
Made myself comfy and
plunked on the keys.
Oh, the glory of it all!
Far more fun than tossing a ball.
Better still than watching fish
I’d been granted my dearest wish.
A humble tabby, my joy abounds
I now make lovely musical sounds.
Half of the world knows me by name
Soon, the Pussycat Hall of Fame!
