submitted an idea so audacious,
so startling in its vision,
that the Chief Constable gasped
before ordering all cats in the city
to be disguised as cops. The plan worked
and the White Van Catnapper was heard of no more.
Cats and coppers
Like peas in a pod
To a grateful public
Plod was god.
So next time you are up in Liverpool
Take a closer look at that policeman on point duty
He might well be a Siamese bobtail.

Mart’s Advice
Mart’s advice:
If someone’s acting big with you,
if someone’s bossing you about
look very hard at one of their ears.
Keep your eyes fixed on it.
Don’t let up.
Stare at it as if it was
a mouldy apple.
Keep staring.
Don’t blink.
After a bit
you’ll see their hand
go creeping up to touch it.
They’re saying to themselves
‘What’s wrong with my ear?’
At that moment
you know you’ve won.
Smile.
