Plus ça change ... le plus c'est la meme chose:

I and Pangur Ban my cat,
'Tis a like task we're at.
Chasing mice is his delight,
Chasing words I sit at night.

 

'Tis a gladsome thing to see
Happy at our tasks are we.
When at home we sit and find
Entertainment to our mind.

 

'Gainst the wall he sets his eye,
Full and fierce, sharp and sly.
'Gainst the wall of knowledge I
All my little wisdom try.

 

Steady at our tasks we ply,
Pangur Ban, my cat and I.
In our arts we find our bliss
I have mine and he has his.

- Unknown author.

* to make this poem up-to-date for me, one must substitute "Catzilla" for "Pangur Ban" and "Chasing Web pages" for "Chasing words. However, neither of these parse very well at all, so the poem is much better in the original. LAEC
