A poet in a former life, Archy has been reincarnated as a cockroach who types by diving headfirst onto a typewriter (and is famously unable to operate the shift key to produce capital letters); his side-kick Mehitabel is an alley cat who claims to have once been Cleopatra.

I have the complete works of Don Marquis and ordered this book to share. Anyone who likes to laugh should have this in their library. It first came out in the generation before me and it is still good reading. It deserves yet another generation to appreciate it.
