I think Eliot's mom didn't hug him enough. To make up for this lacking of
love he looked into cats. He then developed a cat 'fetish' , my words not
his. Theme: MOMMY LOVE. As you can tell I don't appriciate this form of
'art'.

a cat has only one true name-his own. do humans believe they are god and
can choose an animal's name? do you name the squirrels and birds? we name
our pets solely for our own conceit-and for remembrance.

Isn't is weird how theres a comedian called bil bailey and in the poem
theres a cat called bill bailey? wel i think bill bailey's great and he's a
genius so if its not his real name, we all know who to suspect...;)

i love this poem! it makes me want a cat, so i can give it names...sigh!
Eliot is so clever! i mean, how dioes he come up with "jellylorum" and
"coricopat"? must be because he's a genius...And really!!!!!!!! how can
anyone hate this poem? how ridiculous to even suggest! thank you ever so
much, "toe" (?), for your input! egads! (is that not one of the most fun
things to say???) erm, yes, anyways, me mates and i all love this and read
my practical cats book instead of learning in geography...hey, who needs to
know where south america is when you could be learning to recite the book
by heart???

ok,rox,just because you don't like it or simply do not understand it
doesn't mean it's awful..you should try writing like Eliot,see if you can
do it and then you can judge one of the best poets literature has
seen.poems like this one can't possibly get their message through if people
prefer to stick to the surface and not go deeper in meaning.and perhaps
you're right,having this as a subject for the contest might have been a bit
too difficult for some,but hey only the best go to national...how do you
expect to compete against the best in the country if you can't even judge a
poem(even if you didn't like it)?

Hi,Rox! I also went to the English olympiad last year..like rox.. I also
remained puzzled when reading this abstract and non-sense poem. I also
think it is very hard to understand and comment upon..it is highly
...abstract..it requires a lot of philosophical sense .. despite this,I
managed to find a fidden explanation for this poem ,suggesting that it
referes to human beings and the contrast between appearance and
essence..well,I took a beautiful mark maninly because of this
poem...:)...but it's difficult to understand,I agree.. well,good luck 4 the
others in the following years at the English olympiad! :)
