Take some honey from a cat ...
Take some honey from a cat
Mix it with a vampire bat
Stir it in an opera hat
Where an alligator sat—
That’s Magnolia!
From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, ca. August/September 1927; titled with the first line in COLLECTED POETRY
Take some honey from a cat
Mix it with a vampire bat
Stir it in an opera hat
Where an alligator sat—
That’s Magnolia!
