Sandpaper Tongue

It was designed in order to break up their food,
 but could be used adversely according to mood,  
 most things I say are 'wrong,' know what I mean?
 I really start to wonder about heard and not seen.

 Remember Ogden said: 'Just say yes to everything,'
 we know that's not possible, peace it might bring;
 of course, maybe it's me with the old furry tongue,
 but my sarcasm is measured, not a smoking gun.

 I went to visit 'Job,' he said: 'Have patience my friend,'
 that was all very well for him, no red ears to bend,
 such is our 'Lot' in life, turned into a pillar of salt,
 you start to wonder - why should it all be my fault.

 There are some different grades of sandpaper feline,
 but then to be fair, yours of coarse is a very fine dine.
