Bob the Cat was interviewed one day
by a curious kitten
who wouldn’t stay away
“How did your ears get that way?“
But Bob wouldn’t say
“How old are you?”
Bob told him to go away
“What do you do all day?”
Bob replied “Skip the survey”
so
the kitten finally had to concede
the old grouch wouldn’t proceed
and there’d be no interview
no wise worldview
from an old cat
like that
***
one is lean and the other one is fat
people call them blue cat and red rat
blue cat is fast for his size
red rat has beady eyes
blue cat considers him prey
but red rat outruns him all day
blue cat is streaky
red rat is sneaky
blue cat likes his raw meat
red rat thinks cheese is neat
blue cat likes to frolic and play
red rat works at staying away
one day
blue cat’s tail was caught in a trap
and red rat laughed at the mishap
the next day
red rat was caught in a trap
and blue cat ate him in the recap
he was young when he started clowning around
the world his theater in the round
he wasn’t the kind of guy who ever got down
I’m talking about Obo the Clown
he was known for his funny jokes
and appealed to all kinds of folks
by all accounts he was always merry
when talking comedy he was a visionary
he enjoyed playing the clown for the day
and being on public display
the best thing about Obo the Clown
is that everyone wanted him around
the swamp committee
held an emergency
meeting one day
snapping turtles
alligators
and fish were there
concerned over the frogs
welfare
someone locked them up
in a wicker basket
with hardly any air
so the swamp committee
gathered to see
how to set them free
the plotters made a plan
to free the frogs
from the man
when the alligator
approached
he ran
the turtle let the frogs loose
saving them from more abuse
the frogs croaked in delight
throughout the night!
todays robots are made for walking
and that’s just what they’ll do
watch out, or they’ll walk all over you
to the tune of
These Boots are Made for Walking
by old blue eye’s daughter
Nancy Sinatra’s one big hit
about a woman in a snit
meanwhile
the day of the robots is here
they’re going to take your job
and they’re going to guzzle your beer
I’m really sorry to say
The Robots Day is here to stay
here’s to death-defying kitties many skills
rivaling acrobats with their physical thrills
cartwheels off of couches and tables
are one of a kitten’s acrobatic stables
acrobats who do aerial stunts on a highwire
have nothing on kittens always willing to go higher
and when it comes to cute, kittens rule
although acrobats are also supercool
I went to a food party the other day
with culinary masterpieces on display
all the major food groups were there
the savory aroma was without compare
Boston steamed clams and Dixie yams
mingled with Virginia bred hams
potatoes and squash sat side-by-side
foie gras and other snacks with stuff inside
sweetmeats, donuts, and other bakery delights
took me to new gastronomical heights
it was the kind of foody party
where you had to be ready to eat hearty
arrogant humans have a tendency
to ignore animal philosophy
which is rooted in nature
and it’s abundancy
where there’s no need
for greed
no unwritten law
degreed
no political party to follow
no lies to swallow
with animal philosophy
you’re free
to live in harmony
comedians, pranksters, jokers
and midnight tokers
keep us laughing
when we want to cry
even when we get a black eye
because the world goes around
with the laughter from a clown
worries go away
after a tough day
watching purveyors of mirth
makes life easier on this earth
as long as we keep clapping
they’ll keep us laughing
there’s a ballad about two crazy guys
called Hotfoot and Thunder Thighs
who made people roar with laughter
and were often sought after
for their ability to make you laugh or cry
their very presence could electrify
they traveled on country trails
and loved to tell funny tales
both free as could be
the world their marquee
these guys were something to see
