The Cat and the Cock

The Cat and the Cock

A cat was hungry cold and thin
Her patience gone her claws tucked in
She'd searched all day for a mousy snack
But came up empty front to back

Then lo a cock came strutting by
With feathers red and a talkative cry
The cat said low with a gravelly grin
You've crowed your last now let's begin

Excuses fly but hunger stays
The night eats song the morning plays
A voice may plead a wing may flap
But mercy sleeps in the hunter's lap

You're noisy rude and far too loud
You wake the sun disturb the cloud
The cock stood tall his eyes unsure
I crow to help my call is pure

I tell the day to rise from bed
I keep the clocks inside your head
The house depends on when I sing
My crowing sets the world to spring

Excuses fly but hunger stays
The night eats song the morning plays
A voice may plead a wing may flap
But mercy sleeps in the hunter's lap

The cat just yawned and licked her paw
No speeches now no rooster law
No bells will ring no sun will shine
Tonight dear bird your life is mine

So if your voice is strong and proud
Be wary when the world gets loud
For clever words and noble sound
Can't help you when the teeth come round
