Jellicle Cats are white and black,
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicles jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.
They’re quiet enough in the morning hours,
They’re quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving their terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.

from “The Song of the Jellicles”
Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats
by T. S. Eliot

Jeremy Irons reads the entire book on archive.org from a BBC broadcast of T.S. Eliot’s OLD POSSUM’S BOOK OF PRACTICAL CATS, the inspiration for the world-renowned Andrew Lloyd Webber musical CATS.
