The Cat and the Dog
Once upon a time a cat
And a dog, silently followed by a rat
Set out on a journey
To the land of Timberney
The cat and the dog were the best of friends
And their ties of friendship was hard to mend
The dog suddenly noticed the rat
And have him a friendly pat
In the forest of Kellogg
Sat the cat, the rat and the dog
On a well built log
They heartily ate their lunch
Munch, munch, chomp, chomp, munch
All of them ate, ate and ate
Not noticing that at this rate
They will never reach Timberney
In order to complete their journey
Excited with this new friendship
All the three went to have a sip
From the nearby lake
And spent nearly an hour for this sake
It had suddenly, suddenly become dark
And the dog told them to mark
The tree on which each of them slept
And the rat meanwhile wept and wept and wept
For it had fear of the dark
And thus ended Day 1 of the journey they had embarked
In the middle of the night
The cat woke up and sat upright
The dog too was awake
Staring at a lengthy black snake
They began to hatch a plan
Whispering as low as the possibly can
The cat woke up the rat
And tempted him to eat a piece of dead bad
Innocently the rat came up to the cat
And together they sat
For a dinner that never was
But both them hogged without a pause
The dog as per the plan hid
Stealthily behind a bush in a bid
To have the rat for dinner
As the light grew dimmer and dimmer
Like a hungry lion he pounced
On the rat who was trounced
And there lay a dead example
Of when innocence could be fatal
The cat and the dog moved to place
Where they could see each other’s face
To decide on who gets what
From the rat’s carcass the cat brought
“I should get more” claimed the cat
“As I was the one who tricked the rat”
“You’ve eaten enough you greedy feline”
Argued the dog, “So he is wholly mine”
They argued, they fought, they rolled
And none could get a stronger hold
The whole forest awoke with the fight
Where each of them tried to prove their might
They fought all night, all day
Keeping the protesters at bay
Whose number had grown by now
Were ineffective and did not know how
To prevent this fight
Which was a pitiful sight
The best of pals had become the deadliest of foes
And as the saying goes
“Fighting like cats and dogs”
has come into being after this incident at Kelloggs.
