Cynthia 1976

 

Pussycat ate the dumplings
Pussycat ate the dumplings
Mama stood by and said “Oh Fie!
Why did you eat the dumplings?”

 

Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I’ve been to London to look at the queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.

 

Hey diddle, diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon.

The little dog laughed
To see such sport
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

A few days ago, I See Invisible People featured a link to Cats in Sinks. Ah, thought I, have some snapshots like that. And, indeed I did.

But in looking, I also came across this one, taken in our second floor walkup in on Woodland Avenue in Chicago in 1976. The cat is Cynthia. The person in the bathtub is two weeks short of 31 years old, which seemed old at the time.
