That
Cat eats
Anything
That someone drops
On the floor or leaves
On an unguarded plate
Keep an eye on your yogurt
You must eat all your mac and cheese
Before he decides your lunch is his
And it’s you that must go begging for food

Cat
Stirs at dawn
Sees empty food dish
Sleeping human must waken
Now
Dog
Rolls over
The bed is comfy
A great place to dream of food
Snores

A glance in the mirror did show
That mustache just had to go
She had to be strong
Since it took her so long
To get the darn thing to grow

Oh, wicked, wicked food
Why do you tempt me so
I’ve weight needing to go
You’re everywhere
I plan for healthy meals
Then a friend says let’s eat
Hey, I deserve a treat
And I cave in
I might as well be friends
With the choices I make
Just one more bite to take
And buy new clothes

Why are they stacked so high
Those cookies on the plate
If we’re supposed to wait
Until dessert
