Christmas With My Pets

Myself the dog and the cat On the hearth rug at Christmas we sat The daily challenge had just begun Its what we do, we have fun It may sound strange, I admit But the challenge is to try and outwit So this is the game that we play We stare at each other all day The dog stared at the cat The cat, with nonchalance, stared back Then they, both stared at me Its what we do us three Then I stared at the cat Who was laying on my Christmas hat The dog who was sat on the mat Stared at the cat on the hat I sat myself in a chair Thinking, why do we all stare But staring at each other, is free So we stare at each other, us three The cat sat up on the hat And stared again 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 We have not really a care It's 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 or the dog they have won You may call us insane But we each want to win the game The rules are strict and are fair So we stare and we stare and we stare 30/12.2019 Christmas pets contest
