About the mews!
Lord Tabley
And John Tabb, B.
Lift up their strain
In the self-same Lane.
Alas!—but that's
The way with cats.

    The coincidence is their names of course Tabb and Tabley 'hence' the poem, but I like how it mixes the 'cat' part in it as well.

    To me it's with jest, I don't find any real humor in my opinion, but that lays with me, I am sure to Tabb and de Tabley that was not true.

    It's a nice piece that Tabb has written here.
