Dog & Cat

 

dogs & cats

Run! says the dog.
Run! Run! Run!
Bark woof grrr!

No! says the cat.
No! No! No!
Hiss spit rrrllll!

I’ll eat you!
says the dog.
I’ll have you for lunch!

Claws! Teeth!

says the cat.
I’ll bloody your nose!

You look tasty,

says the dog.
Yum yum yum!

I’m muscle and bone,

says the cat.
And claws claws CLAWS!

OK, I’m bored now,
says the dog.
Woof?

Me, too,
says the cat.
Mrrrrl?

Wanna take a nap?

asks the dog.
Sniff sniff sniff.

Sure, give me your
belly,
says the cat.
Currll purrr purrr.

    It’s called The Oddville Press.
