Poem
A beagle pup curled up on a carpet of green grass Peering at the noonday sky Contemplating the actions of a fast moving cat Along the old rickety fence Effortlessly tippy-toeing like a cat with ten lives He wonders what it’d be like to spend one day Just one day As a dog with a cat jumpsuit on Hmmmm….he pondered. I wonder what fun it would be to pounce from behind a pile of leaves at a fast moving ant Or what it would be like to jump from the hood of a car Pretending to be as agile as a flying squirrel Or what about licking my paws after eating from a can of cat food? Oh what a joy to be a cat! Then with a bit of hesitation the dog grew sad He thought of all the wonderful attributes he already had His master, his bed, his own special treats “What was I thinking? “ said the dog I’ve got it made in the shade here with my own family I don’t want to be a cat after all He quickly put an end to that thinking And continued on with his almost perfect life Never again would he go there with his thoughts Of wondering what it would be like living a real cat’s life!
