Myself and Pangur, cat and sage Go each about our business; I harass my beloved page, He his mouse. Fame comes second to the peace Of study, a still day Unenvying, Pangur's choice Is child's play.
Neither bored, both hone At home a separate skill Moving after hours alone To the kill
When at last his net wraps After a sly fight Around a mouse; mine traps Sudden insight.
On my cell wall here, His sight fixes, burning, Searching; my old eyes peer At new learning,
And his delight when his claws Close on his prey Equals mine when sudden clues Light my way.
So we find by degrees Peace in solitude, Both of us, solitaries, Have each the trade
He loves: Pangur, never idle Day or night Hunts mice; I hunt each riddle From dark to light.

Myself and Pangur, cat and sage
Go each about our business;
I harass my beloved page,
He his mouse.
Fame comes second to the peace
Of study, a still day
Unenvying, Pangur's choice
Is child's play.
Neither bored, both hone
At home a separate skill
Moving after hours alone
To the kill
When at last his net wraps
After a sly fight
Around a mouse; mine traps
Sudden insight.
On my cell wall here,
His sight fixes, burning,
Searching; my old eyes peer
At new learning,
And his delight when his claws
Close on his prey
Equals mine when sudden clues
Light my way.
So we find by degrees
Peace in solitude,
Both of us, solitaries,
Have each the trade
He loves: Pangur, never idle
Day or night
Hunts mice; I hunt each riddle
From dark to light.
Can't be better said than with this image!
Happy St. Paddy's Day!
May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
