The Naming of joel is a difficult matter, It isn’t just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter When I tell you, joel must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily, Such as joel, joel, joel, or joel, Such as joel or joel, joel or joel— All of them sensible everyday names. There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter, Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames: Such as joel, joel, joel, joel— But all of them sensible everyday names, But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular, A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as joel, joel, or joel, Such as joel, or else joel— Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there’s still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discover— But JOEL HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice joel in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular name.
