The Cat Who Owned Dogs
The cat who owned dogs was boasting loudly the other day.
That she had the means to convert them with her ample pay.
She made them wear whisker masks that made them look like cats.
Then she indoctrinated them into an army that chased big rats.
The dogs stood behind her and waited for her whistle command.
She made them wear clothes that would have suited a mariachi band.
The cat who owned dogs was a disgrace with neighbors on her block.
They did not like dogs living in pens there, around the clock.
We like to meow a merry melody once in a while one of them said.
But when the beagles begin to howl with us, our pretty tone is dead.
And when the Great Danes begin their bark from the gates of hell,
It’s something that makes us angry, even worse than the dogs’ smell.
The cat who owned dogs liked getting on her neighbor’s nerves.
She pranced around in pretty dresses, showing off her curves.
She stole their husbands and had litters almost three a year.
She is not a terrific neighbor a friend, in case that is not clear.
