Not a sea song by any stretch, but since y'all invoked, I penned this ditty about the feline residents of the Hemingway House: Key West Kitty Lyrics & Music by Gary Ehrlich (c) 1/2009 Down in Key West there's a famous home Where a writer once let some kittens roam The old man's gone but the cats are there You can see them lounging 'round without a care I wanna be a Hemingway cat Lie in the Key West sun all day I wanna be a Hemingway cat To see me have the tourists pay I wanna be a Hemingway cat I'd bask outside on the patio Or lurk on the floor in the studio Have people pet me and be well fed When I'm tired, curl up on the master bed I wanna be a Hemingway cat I'd be the finest one so far I wanna be a Hemingway cat I'd be named for a movie star I wanna be a Hemingway cat Stalk through the trees and the gardens cool But I'll stay away from the swimming pool! Do things they won't let the tourists do Sit on all the chairs, loaf on the sofas too I wanna be a Hemingway cat To have six toes; do what I wish I wanna be a Hemingway cat Dine on the finest shrimp and fish I wanna be a Hemingway cat -- Gary
