The finest cats In the nation
Patrol Eureka.
Hard, barrel-bodies with
Broad, Chicago shoulders,
Slice through the
Blackberry brambles
With New York efficiency.

They prepare a meal of mouse,
Plated fetchingly, and placed
On your doorstep,
Not to be outdone by
Southern hospitality.

Big voice, big action:
Their doings dominate
Every conversation,
And they glory in the gossip
Like true Californians.
