                Meet Archy, a cockroach with the soul of a poet trapped in a six-legged existence. By night, he taps out his free-verse musings on a typewriter, leaving a trail of inky pronouncements for his long-suffering human companion. 
Then there's Mehitabel, a streetwise alley cat with a regal past (Cleopatra, anyone?). Never one to settle for the mundane life of a feline vagabond, Mehitabel hatches outrageous schemes to climb the social ladder, dragging the reluctant Archy along for the ride.
"archy and mehitabel" by Don Marquis is a hilarious and heartwarming collection of poems chronicling their adventures in the bustling underworld of New York City. From philosophical cockroaches to social-climbing cats, Marquis's witty characters offer a unique perspective on life, love, and the pursuit of a good garbage can.
Prepare to be charmed (or at least mildly disturbed) by this classic American oddity!
