Quarantaquattro Gatti

In the basement of a big building
all the kittens without an owner
organized a meeting
to clarify the situation.

Forty-four cats,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
joined together compactly,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
with their whiskers aligned,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
their tails twisted,
in a row of six with the remainder of two.

Six times seven is forty-two,
plus two is forty-four!

They asked all the children,
who are friends with all the kittens,
for a meal a day and, on occasion,
to be able to sleep on the armchairs!

Naturally, all the children
could pull all the tails
every moment and as they pleased,
play with all of them.

When at the end of the meeting
the situation was defined,
the whole platoon went to the garden
of those kittens without an owner.

marched together compactly,
in a row of six with the remainder of two,
with their whiskers aligned,

their tails straight,
in a row of six with the remainder of two.
