I tend to like to look at the funny side of life. With this one, I know the actual subject is a bit ick but you need to take the tale into context. It's a true story. I lived on a farm and had 2 Shetland Sheepdogs and a cat. They were good pals but if you have had dogs or cats as pets am sure you can relate to some of the things they do. One of my dogs had eaten something dodgy and her stomach was acting accordingly. Whilst all this is going on the very resourceful cat takes advantage of the situation to "share" my breakfast......
T'was in the early hours, she sprang down from the bed,
She stood up on the floor, and brought up, what she'd been fed!
I cleaned it up with haste, and put it down the loo,
The water flushed up to the lid! "Oh, what am I to do"!
Then a short time later, while absorbed in "what to eat",
She "brought up" more and dropped it down, not far from my bare feet!
With care, and with much diligence, I parked my food up high,
The mess did need attention, 'cos the other dog came by!
He thought his luck was in, "breakfast" had been "served",
But quickly changed his mind when he saw my eyes had swerved.
Diverted by the sound, of a fork upon a plate,
Clanging with persistence, as the cat thus surely ate!
She came in, from out of nowhere, the smell of food too much,
And tiptoed over to her "prey", with paws of gentle touch!
Taking full advantage, of her "mum" who was diverted,
She was quickly cleaning up, what a dog had just inverted!
The cat picked up the fish, with aristocratic care,
But the remnants of the vegies, she prepared herself to share!
Meanwhile the hapless dog, went out to find some fun,
And went about her business, unperturbed by what she'd done!
My breakfast now was "gone", - "I must find my left shoe",
Weetbix, toast or eggs, would simply have to do.
"Put the cat outside", she's laughing at me, she is,
She "thinks" she's put one over me, and "thinks" I'm in a tiz!
I'll show them all who's boss, who runs the show round here,
But they sit back and clean their paws, and clearly show no fear!
They know that things will run, exactly as before,
Until the next one does it's "thing", and throws up on the floor!
The say it is a "dog's life", well, it is a "cat's life" too,
Unless YOU make the rules, they will walk all over you!
