Summary: Quick, Henry! Get Rid of the FLIT!
Review: now granted worlds bestloved cockroach is not
a competitive title boss but you have to agree
mehitabel the cat says that i should just
forget it and return to my dusty corner but
mehitabel is a lady cat who just between us
boss is not what we might call a lady
except by default of her increasing
battered state boss ive been meaning to ask
if you would leave some cracker crumbs
by the typewriter tonight and maybe
a fish or two the ones in your bed
will do i mean for crumbs but the fish
youll have to find somewhere else
mehitabel the cat is hungry and you know
i hate to see her eat alone
i hope you are finding some readers
for my vers lbre after all these years
i know that children love to read it
because they see that i understand how
silly punctuation really is i have seen
copies of my work handed to big english
department gurus who felt
uncomfortable with it
because they hadnt seen it reviewed
in new york or anywhere else so i hope
this will help them because they need it boss
i mentioned the possibility of royalties
to mehitabel and she said that she had
all the royalty she needed because she said
she was once cleopatra and knew only
the creme de la creme but sometimes i think
she was never really cleopatra but is
afraid i will feel sorry for her i do
please find something for her to eat
soon as she has that look in her eye
again and its the
dusty corner for me right now

Summary: Poetry (Sort of) from the Ash Can School
Review: Pythagorian philosopher and surviving cockroach of note, Archy ranks with the immortals of modern verse-craft, taking turns with Mehitabel, queen errant of alley cats (Cleopatra in a previous incarnation), in expounding upon the mysteries of the universe and society from the high vantage point of a Brooklyn garbage can. Archy's buggy genius is exceeded only by that of New Orleans-born cartoonist George Herriman -- also creator of Krazy Kat -- Louis Armstrong of the Crow Quill pen. Compared to this, T.S. Elliot is a Wasteland.

Summary: Extremely Funny and Unparalled Wittiness!
Review: This book is so wonderful! Mehitabel's antics mix with Archy's poetry so well!I almost want to leave my computer on every night, just to see what would happen! My 13 year old daughter read it, and she adores it! It's a must read!
