Jeoffry on a box
chasing her tail in circles
confused in the night.

I am impressed! Making the syllables come out right in both languages, while maintaining a reasonable level of poetry, is certainly not easy. In translating songs, when I go from Japanese to English I always have notes left over that I need to fill appropriately, and in the other direction I have to decide what to cut, because all the content generally won't fit. Congratulations!
Thank you, Jack! I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes a literary shoehorn is needed.
BTW. You and Cathy have been on my mind a lot lately. I've been meaning to call.
Maybe sometime in the next few days during hours we're both awake.
