Cat And Dog (Cat~Dog~Sang) By Cynthia Jones, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetryandshortstories10 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
Cat and dog are at it again
they're trying to impress me,
but they are not fooling anyone
by singing for their food, daily.
I can't wait to hear this
wonder what song they'll sing,
it may be blues or even dance
such happiness to them, it brings.
I think it's torture on the ears
hearing them every single day,
I'm starting to think they're tone deaf
in each and every way.
Stand in front of the fireplace
snapping fingers and tapping toes,
they sang their song to me
they'd sing high, then go very low.
It's something they just came up with
didn't make any sense to me,
they even took turns dancing
I was tired of listening to their plea.
One would howl, the other meow
but not in the way you'd think,
they had switched places, you see
I heard giggling, then they'd wink.
I thought that was pretty clever
even for a dog and cat,
they'd twirl their canes, 'round and 'round
as I watched them tip their hats.
I think that maybe this time
they had outsmarted me,
they stood there with smiles
when they saw me with food AND treats.

A poem written for children. I figured I'd put a little humour close to the end.
