The Devious Dog

The devious dog slides in the mud 
Landing with a big thud 
As he raises, he shakes off 
Then quickly, he takes off 

Chasing the curious cat 
Who stole his owner’s hobby hat 
Up the tremendous tree it goes 
He can’t follow the curious cat knows 

A billy bird screeched 
As the curious cat reaches 
With his long curved claw 
Away from the devious dog’s jaw 

Bark, Bark, Bark 
Meow, Meow, Meow 
Then came a loud sound 
Causing silence all around 

With a shout, the devious dog rebounds 
Running towards his master’s sound 
The curious cat purrs with relief 
Curls up in the tremendous tree to sleep
