Doggerel-Cat and Dog
The cat sat down upon a chair,
To groom her fur and fix her hair.
The dog did bark, she scratched his nose,
He knocked the vase—there it goes!
The dog ran fast, he chased the cat,
He slipped and fell, then sat like that.
He wagged his tail, and barked with glee,
Then rolled in mud, proud as can be!
He sniffed the ground, and found a bone,
He chewed it loud, and left the cat alone,
with fur all messy from vase water, wet,
The happiest dog and maddest cat yet!
