THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER JUNE 11, 2021.

CELEBRATING THE ART AND THE MANY LIVES OF • NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATE SONG & DANCE MAN. INSPIRED BY AND THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT WAS MADE. ESTABLISHED 2006 BY PETER HOLST • 14 YEARS AND RUNNING. HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM

Welcome to another edition of the Bob Cats Newsletter. It's night time in the big city and the heat is on. The cracked actor abides on the top floor of The Black Swan, checked boxers, 10-gallon hat, giant windows open to a black nocturnal sky, stars twinkle from a hundred years ago, a slow lascivious Caribbean breeze flutters through the pages of Canzoniere by Francesco Petrarca on a table by a bottle of Masi Agricola. He raises his glass saluting his very good friend doctor Theodore Stafolos across the Main Street in room #507 of The Saint James Hotel, who’s answering back waving a wintry glass of ouzo as the wife of a famous editor of Zeneca Publishing is putting on her make up in the bathroom. A streetcar named Orleans disappears into the shadows of The Elysian Park to the sounds of mating toads quacking like crazy in the wet grass by the silver songs of the Orson Creek. Hermine deMiele and Gustave Bosch wake up from their slumbers by a soft summer rain, hurrying in beneath the sheltering crown of an old oak tree rearranging their clothes, checking their watches, soaked to the bone, stained by grass, heads aching, guilt and hair brushed aside, limbs mellow, minds euphoric, looking for cab.

ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER THE BOB CATS NEWSLETTER KEPT THE VIEW.

FLASHES FROM THE PAST

Oh my name it is nothin’ I’s taught and brought up there My age it means less The laws to abide The country I come from And that the land that I live in Is called the Midwest Has God on its side

Flowers bows in the heavy rain I say good-bye and tip my hat Clouds across the coastal line Golden handshake chicken fat

Trails along our virginal plains Iron rails and gates of steel Take me to your patron saint I’ll offer him my fig tree peel ••• HTTPS://THEBOBCATSNEWSLETTER.WORDPRESS.COM The Bob Cats Newsletter is inspired by Theme Time Radio Hour and the spirit in which it is made.
