I Am a Proud Cat

I am proud to be a cat but a cat
All time I feed on clean fresh milk as
Mankind labor and cry all lifetime

Agamas think I am a coward in life

People thank me for being bright but
Rats abuse me when I break their tails
Owls throw bad oracles against me
Unkind cows flog me with their tails
Donkeys complain of back-aches 

Calm, wise I live in comfort and peace
All day fights and abuses bring doom
Try them and the skies will open doors
