Love Those Who Love You

Love those who love you Appreciate those who appreciate you A dog never bites its owner If a dog does just that, it ought to be gently put to sleep Gentlemen, love women who love you Ladies, love men who care for you If someone doesn't like you, don't get upset It’s fine or okay for someone not to like you This is democracy 100, everyone is free to choose Love those who are cordial or courteous to you Disregard or ignore those who dislike or antagonize you Be strong, vigilant, calm and cool, don't act like fools The dog barks at its master, it’s because of esurience or jejuneness But when it bites its master, it’s because this animal is still untamed This pestered creature is sent eventually to the shelter to be euthanized A cat always respects its master or has high regard for its owner Love those who love you Appreciate those who appreciate you Shatter not the heart of those who don't like or despise you However do your very best for those who care for you For those who are not hypocritical, ingrate or ungrateful Old cats will in perpetuum remain old cats They function as old egotistic crabs or irritating crotchety rats Love those who love you Appreciate those who appreciate you Love is the appropriate answer Not the mortiferous cancer.
