The Breakfast Battle

Kublia with his laughing smile Whoever has food is his best pal His sad eyes as big as saucers Tail wagging anticipating offers He'll eat whatever you eat People food is always a special treat Genghis cautious ears fold back If it ain't meat he wants none of that Sniffs the air trying to decide What it is Kublia can't be deny Pancake breakfast and Kublia explodes Flapjacks his nose glows Mouth waters and dance in place Pancakes make an happy face Throw him a piece and he snaps it in the air Swallows it whole no time to spare Toss two bits he catches one then the other Little Genghis confused by his brother Hand Genghis a piece of pancake He sniffs it once and his head shakes Put it down on the ground He licks it once and seems to frown Kublia with long snot Flips Genghis from behind with clout Eats the pancake in a second clear Genghis hurt treated unfair Give Genghis a second piece He stands his ground for his feast Growls and stares as Kublia advances There will be no second chances Kublia eager slides around Genghis worried gulps it down Head up he struts and turns Kublia late he got burned Now feed Genghis food he doesn't like He'll gulp it down out of spite To keep Kublia from a treat and a grin Genghis eats to defy him.
