Going on Five?
new sheriff in town?
The saying "a cat has nine lives"
Well it goes for us buildings too
My parent's premonition worked
I'm going on my number five
Giving to that maxim's first They
Aptly named Aztec Cat House One
Where clients and kittens abound
Good ten years--Sheriff shut me down
Sheriff was PO'd nothing's free
He bought me cheap, measly ten dimes
and opened a first class hotel
Aztec Two my parents would weep
Wealthy guests and tourists did come
Breakfasts free new tradition's start
Cheapskates all, chance to save a buck
Spend hundreds dancing all the night
Sheriff sold booze by the gallon
Underground basement Casino
Fifth floor pleasure, kittens return
Evils galore named Aztec Four
Attention getting all for free
Argue "The sign said Aztec Three"
It has survived until this day
Riverwalk haunt famed 'Den of Sin'

1) The 1926 Aztec 3 building is now holding theater productions. It is located on the Riverwalk in the old down town San Antonio.
2) Everything in the words of this poem is Fiction goaded by my Muse.
3) Mom's cat house was on our family farm, there she kept about 30 feral cats. https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2006/08/old-buildings-on-our-farm-moms-cat.html?m=1
