Famous for decades
Graceless hairball hacker
Smoking himself pencil-thin
To less resemble another cat
Comical, orange and striped
Heavy drinking, drug abusing
Dubuque Iowa native
National Radical Meadow Party
One-term mayor of Bloom County
Made more raspberries than any other cat
Translator's Note: Dima and I found out together that a house in Iowa City was used as a model for a house and the city itself was a model for the comic strip Bloom County. Dima didn't know about the famous comic strip since it was before his time. When he learned that one of the major characters was Bill the Cat, he was quick to write over 40 verses of poetry about it. Because it was quickly written, it's not all the impressive. What you have read is 2 of the less appalling verses.
