Unconventional Royalty

Canine the king and Feline the queen Were not quite birds of a feather In fact they fought like cats and dogs When they were reigning together! One dark night Feline ran away Canine was real mad about that He caught up to her the next day They all said, “He's quick as a cat” He barked at her, “I am the king” “Bow down to me now on that mat” That's when all of her claws came out She said, “We'll just see about that!” She fought him like a bear they say And for Canine it was a loss Don't underestimate the Queen Or she might be your bear to cross

Thank you Vijay. I found with the Cat/Dog relationship there was opportunity for a lot of plays on words and what not. Fun to write. So glad you enjoyed it!! rPAT
