Rantin' Like a Fool
There was an old cat who thought he was cool
Rantin' til it made him look like a fool
I heard some folks say
"He's a motley stray"
Hissin' 'bout stuff just like a right paw tool
Black cats ran him out of their neighborhood
Talkin' smack like he lived in Hollywood
He sat on the fence
Tellin' us we're dense
Gruff Gus, said he's always misunderstood
White felines laughed at him behind his back
Cuz Gus lived on the wrong side of the track
They held a meetin'
Without the cretin
I heard them whisperin' the word, 'bushwhack.'
So the story goes, Gruff Gus disappeared
American Tabbies gleefully cheered
Something had transpired
Gus was undesired
He's mortified that his head had been sheared
