The Caption of the ship gifted Hemingway the best
Gift oh a six toed cat with a knack
For catching all the mice with her extra claw attack

Now Ernest Hemingway had such an affection
For 6 toed cats, that he started a collection
Every single litter had the polydactyl gene
Maybe that is why he called them all his “purring factories”
