HUMILIATION.
Folder:
COMEDY.
My humans put me in a play,
with feathers they adorned me,
but if my canine friends should see
I know that they will scorn me.
I'm a normal sort of dog;
this circus hurts my pride.
If another dog comes by
I'll have to cringe and hide.
The cat looks just as foolish
all done up like a toff
in his top hat and his coat,
he knows his pals will scoff.
Standing here like fools are we,
a smile stuck on our faces,
waiting for the man to call,
"Please all now take your places."
I feel so idiotic
in all these silly feathers,
dressed up like a poodle in
this outfit made of leathers,
and, to top it all, I have
my paw around the CAT!
It's just not normal for a dog;
don't people fathom that!!
Oh, no! here comes that doberman,
the one whose name is Rover.
If he spies me in this gear
he'll bark the whole town over.
Whew! He's gone another way,
I'm saved from all that shame.
I wish this farce was finished
for I value my good name.
Yes, cat and I must suffer
while the humans have their fun,
but we will get our own back
when this drama's played and done.
We'll sneak those lovely sausages
all on the table lain.
That will serve our humans right
for causing us this strain.
