“From the alley, music drifts. Shadows sway
to a trumpet riff…Two cats samba, dressed in white, on the
rooftop Saturday night.”
As you turn the pages, the music changes to boogie,
rock and then the blues, and the number of feline dancers keeps
increasing. While some tango, tap dance, twist and meow, other kitties
rumba, line dance, polka, and fox trot.
With eventually twenty cats forming a conga line,
the racket is so great that apartment windows fly open. “Cut
it out!” the neighbors shriek. “No more dancing on Easy
Street!”
That breaks up the party. The cats call it a night
and slip off to sleep as the subways rumble and the taxis beep.
Young children will have fun counting by twos as
they follow these kitties enjoying a night on the town.
