Cathy

Cathy measures time in hours walked - sometimes 7.5 or more
Once upon a time, she sang opera in Germany and they wrote an article
Her rescue poodle, Emma, has no teeth but survived 19 years (so far)
He was alcoholic
That's everything I need to say about Kathy
The rest she forgets every five minutes anyway

Cath, she stands, with a well-intentioned man
But she can't relax, with his hand on the small of her back
And as the flash bulbs burst
She holds a smile, like someone would hold a crying child
