A Dog and a Cat

A Dog And A Cat

A dog and a cat
ran away from their home
The cat wasn't bothered
The dog brought his bone

They went cross country
avoiding the lane
Reached Carlow town
and took the next train

Then brazen as you like
Booked a small room
He signed the register
Kitty-cat and her groom

Later they grew hungry
went out for a treat
Returned after dark
slept in their suite

The owner grew wary
it didn't seem right
That divergent species
sleep together that night

The case was last Tuesday
doggy looked ruff
The judge wasn't happy
she called him a pup

The following day
the dog sat on his rug
Sighed long and loud
felt a proper mug

The cat lay beside him
dreamt of fresh cream
Swore on her nine lives
she'd ignore his mad schemes

So there you are folks
when it comes to speciation
Keep your eyes peeled
when next at the station
