Let it wave unbound

Breathes there the cat with tail so long 

That it gets twisted up all wrong

And knotted, tangled, coiled, and curled,

Instead of splendidly unfurled?

If such there be, release it well

And let its glory grow and swell

Till once again it waves unbound,

Untied, unfettered, and unwound.
