Once upon a time,

In the Spencer, Iowa library

There was a crime

That was quite arbitrary.


A cat was left in the snow

And found by a dedicated librarian.

How he got there, she didn't know,

But at least he didn't turn into carrion.


She fed this cat,

And gave him a couple of looks,

She decided to give a name that would fit like a hat,

Dewey Readmore Books.


This cat became quite famous,

People coming from all over to see,

Some bright and some ignoramus,

To look where the cat could be.


He lived a long life to be known to that,

Dewey Readmore Books, the Library Cat.
