DOG DAY AFTERNOON Old hound takes a nap in the shade of the trees No pep, no sap, no afternoon breeze He's much too lazy to chase the neighborhood cat Who sauntered on by, and smugly sat She taunts and preens, this feline brat Hound opens one eye, scratches this and that Too lazy to notice the bothersome cat So Miss Cat curls up to take a nap The hound, the cat, snooze side by side Till the afternoon sun bids the day goodbye Old hound wakes up, yawns and stretches Miss Cat wakes too, her behind itches They groom, and lick and scratch their fleas No modesty, they bathe with ease Then the hound stands up, with change of heart He starts to growl, that's when trouble starts! Miss Cat perks up, the tables are turned She attacks full force, her neighbor is spurned! Now things are as normal, as they can be Old hound chases Miss Cat...right up the tree!
