Us Three Starers

Us three starers Me the dog and the cat We stare at each other and all that The dog stared at the cat The cat, with erect tail, stared back Then they both stared at me Its what we do us three Then I stared at the cat Who was sitting on my new hat The dog who was sat on the mat Stared at the cat in the hat I was sat in the chair Thinking why do we all stare But staring at each other is free So we stare at each other, us three The cat then sat up on the hat And stared at the dog on the mat The dog on the mat stared back at the cat I just sat on the chair and I stared and I stared at the pair I love my dog and my cat My hairy mat and my crumpled hat We have not really a care, Its a challenge to outwit and out stare No one else joins our game, it just would not be the same Just me the dog and the cat, we stare at each other and all that. There is an art and a skill to a stare that is long An eye contact that one must prolong One blink and then you are done It means the cat and the dog they have won You may call us insane But it's important to who wins the game The rules are strict and are fair So we stare and we stare and we stare
