What do you call a cat in a chemist?

My favourite joke,

The only one I ever remember.

Apothecary bottles

with coloured potions 

and Mum gets her 

Nicorette there, six

months before her death. 

Le Maître chat ou le Chat botté

bags his rabbit, red as

lipsticks in the strip-lit aisles.

The Marquis of Carabas dreams

of the eighties, Anais Anais- 

the byways of Essex,

lost car trips.
