Still scares me that Poe story.
The term "piddle" is more usually found in English songs, I think, although it was known in America in the 19th century. It sings well and rhymes well. Better than "peeing", "pissing".
The song from Leslie Greybourne via Michael gives a reason for the antisocial behaviour of the black cat. An accidental piddle-in-the-eye. I rather like that. More like a doggy act though.
