A Jellicle Queen who is actually in attendance at the Jellicle Ball who has her own poem which is never sung is Jellylorum. Her poem describes her to a "T," and tells you why her song isn't in the Ball. She is just too busy helping the other Jellicles with their songs to bother with her own. But she does need to be recognized for all the hard work that she does do. She takes care of the kittens, Gus, and helps to sing Jennyanydots song. Jellylorum really is the Useful cat!
ITS NAME IS
JELLYLORUM
And its one Idea is to be
USEFUL!!
For Instance
IT STRAIGHTENS THE PICTURES -
IT DOES THE GRATES -
LOOKS INTO THE LARDER TO SEE
WHAT'S NEEDED -
AND INTO THE DUSTBIN TO SEE
THAT NOTHING'S WASTED -
AND YET
IT IS SO LILLIE AND SMALL
THAT
IT CAN SIT ON MY EAR!
