The Cat and the DogThe cat said to the dog,
“Look at it this way.
you’ll never see me pay
any respect to the man
In fact, if I’m in the mood,
I scratch him on the hand.
But you, you fetch his slippers,
lick his boots and slobber.
What does it get you? A kick!
He chains you to a stick
and chokes you with a collar,
or keeps you in a kennel,
then crimps your ears and tags you,
bobs your tail and clips you,
because it’s the latest fad,
and, brother, you’ve been had!
Look at me. I’m a cat!
l’ve stolen again and again,
but the man’s never tried
to keep me muzzled or penned”
The dog replied,
“But I’m his friend.”
