The cat and the dog had a quarrel,
Each claiming its tail-wag most moral,
And going it strong
That the other was wrong,
And never could hope for the laurel.
Puss argued in elegant phrases:
“The tail wasn’t made to give praises,
And wag when you’re grateful,
But savage and hateful,—
And then you should shake it like blazes.”
Then answered the clog: “Why not state your
Belief to our next Legislature.
And get them to grant you
A ‘HEARING’ — Why can’t you? —
They’d soon make a change in my nature.”
Willoughby W.
