A Small Cornered Mouse to the Great Big Cat
I know you missed your morning treats,
and lunch - you turned your nose right up.
That tin can food, it's not your thing,
but, look at me. Just look at me!
If I were you, here's what I'd see:
no meat, just bones to choke you gone,
six whiskers stuck between your teeth,
a tail you'd spit out instantly.
You see just what I'm saying here?
If I were you, I'd raid the fridge.
Skip the veggies. Grab the fish!
Make yourself a real dish.
So say we call it quits tonight.
We're starving now. Think appetite!
We find our feasts. Oh, what a sight!
We'll go on, now. We'll make this right.
Right?
