aunt donna is barking orders

Be you! Yelled Aunt Donna. Laugh! Sing! Play! Dance!
The cat gave her his slow eye, she was ignored by dog Chance.
Be the best you that you can be! She yelled at them. Play I mean Play!
The dog took the hint and began doing a boogie lively and gay.

The cat did not care, no one could motivate her to move a wink.
She slid into a cozy hiding spot under the old kitchen sink
Be you! Yelled Aunt Donna. Be the best you that you can be!
The cat rolled her eyes; didn’t she get it? This is the best me.
