The Plan of the Rainbow Animals
On Tuesday Rainbow Dog said to Rainbow Cat
My fine friend, Let us have a little fake spat
What is the point Rainbow Cat decided to ask
Drinking tea from a shiny aluminum flask
We’ll make them worry and we’ll make them think
The next time they turn us all orange and pink.
Conniving Rainbow Cat did not mind the colors,
But she did like to rile up their elderly mothers.
I’m on board, she said, you can count on me.
So they started the spat on the count of three.
They wrestled, barked, meowed, wailed and rolled
Their lavender-haired mamas were shocked I am told.
Hold out whispered Rainbow Dog as they rolled down the hall.
Their mamas ran out with treats, sixty three in all.
Why do we act horrible like this Rainbow Cat asked Rainbow Dog.
But he was snoring and farting, that happy smart little hog.
