I'm not that young. And I've done more dangerous things than use jack hammers, many which I did while in your company.
I can attest to that. Just the other day on the way back from Cairo she operated a 747 to take us directly home. The pilots were so embarrassed by being overcome by a teenage girl that they claimed that they were distracted from their laptops to explain their being off-course. (jk lol)

The Naming of Catspaw's a difficult matter,
it isn't just one of your holiday games;
you may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
when I tell you a Catspaw has three different names.
First of all, there's the name that the family calls her,
such as Anna, Katrina, Edwina or Jane,
such as Eileen or Erika, Liza or Maggie -
all of them sensible, everyday names.
(There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
some for the gentlemen*, some for the dames:
such as Hildr, Ianthe, Electra, Demeter -
but all of them sensible, everyday names.)
But I tell you, a Catspaw's a name more particular,
a name that's peculiar, and more dignified.
Else how can she keep up her tail perpendicular,
or spread out her whiskers, or cherish her pride?
Of names of this kind I can give you a quorum,
such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Elenshalaw,
such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
names that never belong to more than one Catspaw.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
and that is the name that you never will guess;
the name that no human research can discover -
but the Catspaw does know, and will never confess.
Should you find a Catspaw in profound meditation,
the reason, I tell you, is always the same;
her mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of her name:
her ineffable effable
effanineffable
deep and inscrutable singular name.
* I couldn't think of a way around this. This is why I don't write poetry.
Also the third... stanza? Verse? isn't changed much at all.
Hey, it was spur of the moment, what do you expect?
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently. She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey. "Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.
Sonuna, you are never allowed to leave for more than a day ever again! And post more and lurk less, because this is awesomeness. Who else could come up with this, with such brilliant edits? Nobody, obviously!
Actually it's from the book: Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot. The musical took a lot of its lyrics from the book, originally.

Ah, yeah. ... haven't watched it in a while, my recollections of it are pretty rusty.

It's especially amusing for me, because my sister was just randomly talking about T. S. Eliot's cat poems a few days ago. She's read them but I haven't. If I had never met Sonuna (and her parents) I would be very suspicious that Sonuna was actually my sister in disguise!
And I've done more dangerous things than use jack hammers, many which I did while in your company.

You don't blab stuff like that!
Haha, I love Cats! 
I just remember when they chant that poem during the performance.
